Milner’s outing provides bullpen depth, helping Texas bridge to late-game scenarios as they pursue a critical stretch run.

Milner joined a veteran trio that stacked six shutout innings, providing a durable bridge and high-leverage capability. His left-handed, ground-ball approach suits Texas’ late-inning needs, granting fantasy managers a reliable option in deeper leagues when used in the right spots.

Milner closed out the ninth after Texas ran through its lefty-heavy bullpen, silencing the Royals’ top of the order. His performance offers Rangers fantasy managers a glimpse at late-game reliability and a possible anchor in high-leverage outings down the stretch.

Milner is part of Texas’ late-inning quintet that has shouldered multiple high-leverage appearances this season, contributing to the bullpen’s heavy workload and, at times, dangerous meltdowns when the offense fails to provide run support.

Milner’s changeup fooled Springer for a run-saving moment, highlighting his role as part of Texas’ bullpen structure in a game where Eovaldi thrived. Milner’s mix offers a path to mid-innings leverage in high-leverage spots.
