Corey Seager's unfortunate placement on the injured list leaves a significant gap in the Texas Rangers' lineup, yet the team looks forward to welcoming back Jack Leiter to the rotation. After a successful rehab start where Leiter threw 4⅔ scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock, he struck out four batters, showcasing his readiness to rejoin the big league squad. With a stellar 0.90 ERA in his two prior starts this season, Leiter's return is anticipated to bolster the pitching depth as they navigate a grueling series of games ahead.

Leiter expressed satisfaction with his performance, focusing on the mental aspect of competitive pitching. His blister issue appears to have resolved, allowing him to potentially make his next major league start soon, possibly as early as Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. Given the Rangers' packed schedule, the coaching staff is considering slotting Leiter back into the rotation to provide their other pitchers with much-needed rest.
