Rocker (6-11) earned the win Thursday over the Mets, allowing a run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Rocker's pitch count was limited again, though he managed to qualify for the win Thursday as he efficiently made it through five innings with just 74 pitches. Despite the reduced workload, Rocker finished the regular season on a high note, holding opponents to just three runs on eight hits across 13.1 frames in his final three outings. Overall, the 26-year-old Rocker posted a 4.38 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP and 138:61 K:BB in 148 innings this season.

Rocker did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Rocker opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run in the fifth, throwing 48 of 76 pitches for strikes with only six whiffs. It's clear the Rangers are being cautious with the 26-year-old down the stretch, as he hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in any of his three September outings. He'll carry a 4.47 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 134:59 K:BB across 143 innings this season into one final home matchup with the Mets next week.

Rocker allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Rocker threw 46 of 65 pitches for strikes in this contest. His pitch count has come down in each of his last three outings, which could be a signal that the Rangers are managing his innings down the stretch. Rocker's performance hasn't been that impressive lately -- he's allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 36 innings over eight outings since the beginning of August. On the year, he's at a 4.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 132:57 K:BB through 138.2 innings over 28 games (25 starts). Rocker is lined up for a home matchup versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

Rocker came on in the third inning after Trevor Williams and Robby Ahlstrom both recorded scoreless frames. Rocker quickly serve up solo shots to Jonathan Aranda and Richie Palacios, before allowing four more unanswered runs in the fifth. The 26-year-old has now recorded seven straight outings without a quality start. The right-hander has posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 127:55 K:BB over 134.2 innings this season. Rocker is lined up to make his next appearance either as a starter or bulk reliever Thursday against Seattle.

Rocker will pitch in bulk relief behind opener Trevor Williams during Friday's game against the Rays, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Rocker has appeared in 26 games this season, 24 of which have been as a traditional starter. He's followed an opener twice and has experienced success in that capacity, going a season-high 7.2 innings against the Rockies at Coors Field back in May before covering five innings at Miami in June. In total, the right-hander has allowed just two runs on eight hits and three walks with 15 strikeouts across those 12.2 frames.

Rocker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over three innings.
Rocker needed at least 25 pitches in each of his three innings, throwing just 48 of 86 pitches for strikes before his day ended. Despite the traffic, he limited the damage to two runs, both of which came as Milwaukee opened the first inning with four consecutive baserunners. Rocker has struggled throughout August, posting a 6.00 ERA across six starts. On the season, he owns a 4.44 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 124:55 K:BB over 129.2 innings and is scheduled to face Tampa Bay on Friday.
