Kyle Leahy to be Used in Piggyback Role?
Kyle Leahy could be used in a piggyback role with starting pitchers Andre Pallante and/or Matthew Liberatore down the stretch of the season, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Goold writes that the team is considering building Leahy up as a starter going into 2026. In 62 2/3 innings (45 games) this season for St. Louis, Leahy is 2-1 with a 2.59 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 55 strikeouts. All 81 of his career big-league appearances have come in relief, but he made 26 starts in the minors as recently as 2022. If Leahy is indeed utilized in a consistent multiple-inning role in the middle of games the rest of the way, he could be an interesting waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in need of wins.
