Leiter’s Return in Doubt After Rehab Setback | Austin News
Description
Jack Leiter’s rehab setback has cast doubt on his return timeline, as he was pulled after just one inning due to bicep discomfort — a fresh hurdle for the Texas Rangers’ ace, who’d hoped to rejoin the majors by month’s end. After ankle surgery in June and a promising recovery that saw him throw nearly 40 pitches pre-rehab, Leiter’s recent outings revealed fatigue and velocity drops, prompting the team to consider a bullpen role. With less than 30 games left and key arms like Cal Quantrill and Cody Bradford stepping up, the Rangers are now monitoring Leiter’s arm closely — and time is running out.
