Rangers dealt a 'tough blow' as Leiter undergoes ankle surgery ARLINGTON -- Rangers starting pitcher Jack Leiter underwent an arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body in his right ankle region on Tues...

JUNE 23 • MLB.COM

Undergoes ankle surgery Leiter underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body from his right ankle region Tuesday and should be considered out indefinitely, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Leiter is expected back before the end of the season but is without an official recovery timeline, so it's safe to assume he'll be sidelined for the foreseeable future. The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a posterior impingement in his right ankle, which he apparently has been pitching through for most of the campaign.

Rangers Move Jack Leiter to Injured List, Recall Jose Corniell to Majors The Texas Rangers are moving starting pitcher Jack Leiter to the injured list, the team announced before Sunday’s game with San Diego.

JUNE 21 • SI.COM

Hits IL with ankle issue The Rangers placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right ankle posterior impingement.

Impact Leiter wasn't known to be nursing an injury coming out of his most recent start Thursday against Minnesota, but he'll nonetheless head to the shelf for the first time in 2026. The 26-year-old righty hasn't taken the step forward in his development this season that both the Rangers and fantasy managers were counting on, as he's turned in a 5.29 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 80 innings over his first 15 starts. Texas recalled Jose Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock to take over Leiter's spot on the 26-man active roster, but it's not immediately clear if Corniell will work out of the bullpen or replace Leiter in the rotation.

JUNE 21 • ROTOWIRE

Takes third straight loss Leiter (3-7) took the loss Thursday against the Twins, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Impact The Twins got to Leiter early Thursday, scoring four runs in the first inning, capped by a Brooks Lee three-run blast. He'd give up another two runs on a Trevor Larnach homer in the fourth. It's been a tough stretch of late for Leiter, who's lost his last three starts while giving up 15 earned runs across 13.2 innings. His ERA now sits at 5.29 with a 1.44 WHIP and 83:35 K:BB across 15 starts (80 innings) this season. Leiter will look to turn things around his next time out, tentatively slated to come next week on the road in Miami.
