Eligibility
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
Leiter struggled in his major league debit, allowing eight hits and seven earned runs in 3 2/3 innings pitched. The Rangers have recalled Owen White to take Leiter’s spot on the roster.
Jack Leiter had a rough outing on Thursday, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings as the Rangers edged the Tigers 9-7.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's victory, Leiter's performance was far from victorious, marking a concerning start to his season. He got through a clean first inning before the Tigers tagged him for four runs in the second and a few more a couple of innings later. He has struggled in the minors since getting drafted but there is still plenty of upside here. He is likely going to be sent back to the minors to work on some things, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him get another shot later in the year.
