Otto will start Friday's game against Houston, John Blake, Executive Vice President of Communications for the Rangers reports.
The Rangers are missing Dane Dunning and Mike Foltynewicz, both of whom are on the COVID-19 injured list. That opens up opportunity for Otto, who was traded from the Yankees to the Rangers at the trade deadline. Otto has maintained a 2.70 ERA to go along with a 1.00 WHIP with a 19:7 K:BB across 20 innings at Triple-A Round Rock.
