Rangers' Jack Leiter: Racks up 20 whiffs in no-decision
Leiter allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Saturday.
Leiter had a rough first inning, serving up a leadoff homer to Taylor Ward and allowing an additional run in the frame. However, he bounced back from there, keeping Los Angeles scoreless while allowing just one hit over his remaining four innings. Leiter retired 11 of the final 13 batters he faced and racked up an impressive 20 swinging strikes overall -- per Jared Sandler of 105.3 The FAN, that's the most whiffs ever in a single game by a Rangers pitcher age 25 or younger. The rookie right-hander has yet to earn his first major-league win and owns a 10.41 ERA through six starts, but he's shown improvement over his last two outings.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Sticking around in rotation
Leiter is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Angels in Arlington.
Though he could end up being squeezed out of the rotation once both Jacob deGrom (elbow) and Max Scherzer (shoulder) return from the injured list, Leiter will retain a starting role for now. The rookie had been pitching well at Triple-A Round Rock since the All-Star break, but he's yet to find much success through his first five big-league outings. He'll carry an 11.78 ERA and 2.13 WHIP into Saturday's start.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Recalled ahead of start
The Rangers recalled Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Leiter will start Monday's against the Yankees and is poised to finish out the regular season as part of the Rangers' rotation as the club tries to find out whether he can be counted on as a member of its starting five in 2025. The young righty holds an ugly 12.83 ERA in his first four big-league outings but has flashed plenty of promise in 2024 at Round Rock with a 3.51 ERA and 110:35 K:BB over 77 innings.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Takes loss Monday
Leiter (0-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out two batters over five-plus innings.
Leiter held his own through five frames, giving up just two runs on a Gleyber Torres double. However, the rookie righty allowed all three batters he faced in the sixth inning to reach base, and each of the trio came around to score (including two after his departure). Leiter's final line doesn't necessarily show it, but this was arguably the best outing of his young career -- among other things, he hit 98.9 mph with his fastball, didn't walk any batters and notched strikeouts of potential future Hall of Famers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. The 24-year-old's season ERA still stands at an unsightly 11.78 through five big-league starts, but he's had a breakthrough campaign in the minors this year to dig himself more firmly into the Rangers' future rotation plans.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: To finish season in rotation
Leiter is expected to finish out the season as part of the Rangers' rotation, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. "We feel like he's done everything he can at Triple-A," Rangers general manager Chris Young said. "Now he needs some consistent starts at the major-league level. We're looking forward to him getting that in September."
Leiter, who started the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday, is expected to be called up for Monday's start against the Yankees. The right-hander logged a 3.51 ERA at Triple-A Round Rock in 2024, easily his best result in three professional seasons in the minors. He has a 12.83 ERA in four MLB starts this season, but Leiter's outing last Wednesday was the best of the four with two runs allowed across four frames.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Starting Monday
The Rangers will recall Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock to start Monday's game against the Yankees, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Leiter turned in the best start of his young MLB career during his most recent outing this past Wednesday against the White Sox, surrendering three runs (two earned) over four innings. The 24-year-old righty will now get a chance to follow up on his performance, though this time he'll be matched up against the American League's highest-scoring offense.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Returning to minors
The Rangers optioned Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
Because the Rangers and White Sox essentially played a doubleheader Wednesday after Tuesday's series opener was suspended in the first inning, both teams were allotted a 27th man. Leiter was called up from Round Rock to serve as the Rangers' 27th man, and he drew the start for the second contest of the day, working four innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out four in a no-decision. Though he'll be headed back to Round Rock a day later, the Rangers have only four healthy starters at the moment, so Leiter could be a candidate to get recalled when a fifth starter is next needed during the upcoming week. Leiter has struggled mightily through his first four big-league starts (12.83 ERA, 2.40 WHIP, 11:8 K:BB in 13.1 innings), but he recorded 20 strikeouts over 9.1 innings in his most recent two starts at Triple-A to earn his latest call-up. The Rangers may want to get a longer look at the right-hander in the majors in September and give him the chance to stake a claim to a more permanent rotation spot in 2025.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Lasts four innings Wednesday
Leiter allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Wednesday.
Leiter was OK in his first major-league start since May 14, but it was still a rather inefficient performance. He threw 83 pitches (56 strikes) in total and allowed two runners to reach base in the fifth inning, one of which came around to score after Jose Urena entered the game as a long reliever. Leiter has a 12.83 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB over 13.1 innings over four starts, though it's expected he'll spend most of the rest of the campaign in the majors to get some experience. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees in a tough matchup.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Officially promoted
The Rangers recalled Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.
Leiter will officially serve as the Rangers' 27th man as he starts the second game of Wednesday's twin bill, though he is expected to remain in the big-league rotation for another several starts. The 24-year-old right-hander gave up 17 runs in only 9.1 innings over his first three MLB starts early in the season, but he's since logged a 3.83 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 51.2 innings in Triple-A.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Expected to remain in rotation
The Rangers will recall Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock to start Wednesday versus the White Sox and "intend to give him some runway" in the rotation during September, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The Rangers are essentially turning the page to next season at this point and want to gauge Leiter's readiness for a rotation spot in 2025. Leiter's first three starts at the major-league level have not gone well (16.39 ERA), but the 24-year-old has had an excellent season at Round Rock and has pitched particularly well of late with a 2.37 ERA and 30:6 K:BB over 19 frames covering his last four outings.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Will start Wednesday
Manager Bruce Bochy confirmed Tuesday that Leiter will be called up from Triple-A Round Rock to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Leiter has allowed a whopping 17 earned runs over 9.1 innings across his first three MLB starts, but the Rangers will still rely on him to get them through Wednesday's contest. Fortunately for the 24-year-old righty, he will be matched up against the worst offense in the majors, but he still projects as a risky streaming option. His promotion comes after he had looked sharp over his last four outings at Round Rock, compiling a 2.37 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB across 19 innings.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Joins Texas' taxi squad
Leiter has been added to the Rangers' taxi squad and is likely to start Wednesday versus the White Sox, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Leiter has been torched for 17 runs over 9.1 innings in his first three major-league starts. However, he's been excellent of late at Triple-A Round Rock with a 2.57 ERA and a 63:18 K:BB across 42 innings during his last nine starts and the Rangers are ready to give him another chance. Leiter is an intriguing streaming option given the opponent, although one with obvious risk.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Could start Wednesday
The Rangers could call Leiter up from Triple-A Round Rock to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Leiter has been in the minors since mid-May after yielding 17 runs in 9.1 innings over his first three big-league starts. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft has turned things around at Round Rock lately, posting a 2.57 ERA and a 63:18 K:BB across 42 innings during his last nine starts. With Max Scherzer (shoulder) suffering a setback that will prevent him from returning from the 15-day injured list next week and Dane Dunning experiencing diminished velocity in his most recent spot start, Leiter looks like he could be given the next chance to fill the fifth spot in the Texas rotation.
