Episode Details

Jack Leiter’s rehab journey takes a pivotal turn as the Rangers consider shifting him to the bullpen for the rest of the season, aiming to maximize his impact in playoff contention. After ankle surgery, he’s been working his way back, and his latest rehab outing—his first out of the bullpen—showed promise with a 96 mph fastball but also exposed some struggles, giving up three runs in one inning. While his long-term goal remains as a starter, the team sees bullpen duty as the fastest path to contribution right now. With the playoffs on the line, Leiter is focused on delivering maximum effort in short bursts, and if he can stabilize his mechanics and velocity, it could be a game-changer for Texas’ relief corps.
