Fister (1-0) got the win Friday, giving up one earned run on four hits over five innings while striking out three and walking three in the Rangers' 5-1 victory over the Astros.
Fister outdueled Dallas Keuchel to pick up the victory Friday in his first start as a Ranger after signing a one-year deal in the offseason. It was an impressive debut for the veteran, but Fister has seldom been more than an average major-league pitcher throughout his career and he had a 4.88 ERA in 90.1 innings for the Red Sox after he was claimed off waivers last season. If he can string together a few more starts like Friday's he could be worth a look as a back-end starter for fantasy purposes, but it's probably best to take wait and see approach before taking a flyer on him.
