Leiter’s Rehab Struggles and Rotation Odds | Texas Rangers News

Jack Leiter’s second rehab start didn’t go as planned—just 59 pitches, three innings, five runs, and a homer. A step back from his sharper debut last week, the Rangers now wonder if it’s just rust or deeper command issues. Still 16 pitches shy of their 75-pitch rehab target, Leiter could return next week to help fill the void left by injured ace Nathan Eovaldi—potentially tossing four or five innings. With bullpen talk lingering before rehab even began, the team’s rotation puzzle remains unsolved, and Leiter needs time to recover before any activation, with Tuesday as the earliest possible return date.
