Hangs in for fifth hold Leone allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn a hold in Friday's 5-3 win over Washington.

Impact Leone has emerged as a reliable arm in the bridge to the late-innings duo of Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee. Through 17 appearances, Leone has a 1.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 17.1 innings. He's added five holds, two blown saves and a 2-0 record. With an FIP of 2.59, the right-hander's success so far should be fairly sustainable, although he's limited opponents to a .195 BABIP that will likely tick higher in the second half of the season.

Wins second game Leone (2-0) earned the win in Saturday's 6-5 triumph over the Diamondbacks, allowing a walk with two strikeouts in one inning.

Impact Leone pitched an easy seventh inning and was put in line for the win after Austin Slater smashed a two-run homer in the top of the eighth to give San Francisco a lead it wouldn't relinquish. The righty hasn't allowed a run in his last 12.1 innings and owns a sparkling 1.17 ERA on the season.

Takes blown save, gets win Leone (1-0) allowed an unearned run on two hits and struck out one in one inning in Wednesday's extra-innings win over the Angels.

Impact Leone yielded a game-tying RBI single to Juan Lugares in the bottom of the 12th inning. The right-hander became the pitcher of record when San Francisco's offense exploded for seven runs in the 13th. The win was Leone's first of the year in 11 appearances, and he's collected three holds. He's added a 1.54 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 11.2 innings. Leone could see some high-leverage work, but Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers have handled virtually all of the save chances this year.

Logs third hold Leone struck out two in a perfect inning to earn a hold in Friday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia.

Impact The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on June 1, and he's delivered solid work out of the bullpen so far. Leone has a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 8.2 innings. He's also seen some high-leverage work, recording three holds in eight appearances. He's found success with a 95.2 mph average velocity on his fastball, up from 94.8 last year, though he's had some luck in holding opposing batters to a .158 BABIP so far.

Solid in season debut Leone allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Angels.

Impact Leone kept the blowout from getting worse in the ninth inning of the loss. The veteran right-hander last appeared in the majors with Cleveland, where he had an 8.38 ERA and 1.97 WHIP across 9.2 innings last season. He'll likely begin his San Francisco career in a low-leverage relief role.

JUNE 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Cleveland Leone was designated for assignment by the Indians on Friday.

Impact The veteran right-hander never found much consistency this season and had an 8.38 ERA and 1.97 WHIP while appearing in only 12 games. Leone could head to the team's alternate training site if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
