Jack Leiter Dealing With "Sore" Ankle
Texas Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter (ankle) said that his right ankle is "a little sore" after his fall during his start on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Globe Life Field, but he doesn't expect to miss any time because of it as of now, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Leiter's next start is scheduled to come on Monday against the New York Yankees, which is a matchup that most fantasy managers will want to avoid in deeper leagues. The 26-year-old tripped over a weighted bat that was in the on-deck circle and fell to the ground in the fifth inning against the Bucs on Wednesday. Leiter took a no-decision while giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits while walking two and striking out five in his five innings of work. The former second overall pick in 2021 out of Vanderbilt has been pretty inconsistent through five 2026 starts, posting a 4.97 ERA (3.81 FIP) and 1.46 WHIP with 29 punchouts and 11 walks in 25 1/3 innings pitched.
