Leasure Out for 2027 After UCL Surgery | MLB News
Description
White Sox reliever Jordan Leasure’s 2027 season is officially over after UCL surgery — he’ll be sidelined until Spring Training 2028. The 28-year-old right-hander, who battled elbow pain all year and was shut down in late May, now faces a lengthy recovery after initial flexor strain concerns turned into serious ligament damage. Despite a solid 2025 with 80 strikeouts and 7 saves, his 2026 campaign was derailed by injury. The White Sox aren’t scrambling for short-term fixes — he’s already on the 60-day IL — but his return timeline and roster spot remain key offseason questions. Here’s hoping Leasure bounces back stronger than ever.
