Eligibility
Jack Leiter will be recalled and start Tuesday against Cleveland.
Fantasy Impact
Leiter has struggled in two starts this season, posting a 12.91 ERA and 2.35 WHIP. With Nathan Eovaldi close to returning, it is possible Leiter makes one start before being sent back to Triple-A.
Jack Leiter had another tough outing, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while striking out three over four innings in the Rangers' 12-11 victory over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's win, Leiter's personal performance was less than stellar, failing to provide much in terms of innings or run prevention. His season ERA now balloons to an alarming 12.91, coupled with a WHIP of 2.35, which are concerning numbers for fantasy managers. The high BABIP (.419) might suggest some bad luck, but the consistent lack of control and dominance are red flags. Fantasy managers should be cautious with Leiter, as his current form does not inspire confidence for future starts.
Jack Leiter will serve as the 27th man for the Rangers in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Leiter will make his second career start in Game 2 against Oakland. He made his first career start on Wednesday against the Tigers.
Jack Leiter was in the clubhouse with the Rangers on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Leiter could be up to start one of the games on Wednesday's doubleheader against the Athletics. Michael Lorenzen is scheduled to start one of the two games with the other starter still to be determined. Leiter made his MLB debut last month against the Tigers, allowing seven runs over 3 2/3 innings.
Jack Leiter was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock Friday.
Fantasy Impact
