Fantasy Impact

Leiter and Kumar Rocker were both optioned as the Rangers called up fresh bullpen arms for their final series of the season.

Jack Leiter delivered a mixed outing in the Rangers' 6-4 victory over the Angels on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on just two hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings. Despite not factoring into the decision, Leiter's performance did little to reassure fantasy managers given his season-long struggles, which include a bloated 10.41 ERA and a 1.84 WHIP over six starts. His high BABIP of .363 suggests some bad luck, but the underlying metrics, including a poor 5.53 FIP and a low 7.3 K/9, indicate that significant improvements are needed. Fantasy managers should continue to view Leiter with caution, as his current form does not inspire confidence for reliable starts.

Jack Leiter allowed five earned runs on seven hits while striking out two over five innings in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

This outing did little to reassure fantasy managers, as Leiter's season ERA ballooned to an alarming 11.78, coupled with a WHIP of 2.13. His inability to limit hits and runs significantly undermines his fantasy value, and with a strikeout rate of only 6.4 K/9, he offers little in terms of countering the damage done by earned runs. The high BABIP of .400 suggests some bad luck, but it's clear that Leiter needs substantial adjustments to become a reliable fantasy option. His current form makes him a risky play in all formats.
