Earns first save in 2025 Leasure earned his first save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Mariners after tossing a scoreless ninth inning. He allowed one hit no walks while striking out two.

Impact Leasure worked around a two-out double from Donovan Solano to close out the game for his first save this season and third save of his career. He's now punched out eight batters in his last four innings and has compiled five holds and a save in May. For the season, Leasure owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB in 16.1 innings.

Escapes eighth-inning jam Leasure retired the only batter he faced in the eighth inning to earn a hold Tuesday against the Royals.

Impact Leasure entered the game with the tying run at second base in the eighth inning and retired the only batter he faced on three pitches to escape the jam. He was surprisingly not brought back out for the ninth inning despite the light workload, with Cam Booser instead blowing a save chance and taking the loss. This usage suggests that Leasure is the White Sox's preferred highest-leverage reliever -- rather than designated closer -- though it's difficult to speculate on the closer role given that the team has only one save for the season.

Blows save, suffers loss Leasure (0-2) blew the save and took the loss in Sunday's extra-inning game with the Athletics. He allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and no walks in one-third of an inning.

Impact Leasure was called upon to close out a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning. The Chicago reliever struck out J.J. Bleday before allowing a walk-off, two-run homer on his first pitch to Luis Urias. Since the White Sox only have seven wins, it has been difficult to determine who is the team's closer. However, given the opportunity he was given in this game, Leasure still remains in the saves mix. He currently sports a 4.50 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 10 innings while surrendering three homers.

Pitches in closer role Leasure allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across a scoreless ninth inning Saturday against the Red Sox.

Impact The White Sox haven't recorded a save as a team yet this season, leaving the closer role ambiguous. Furthermore, Mike Clevinger was designated for assignment earlier in the week, which appeared to put Leasure in the best position to serve as the team's closer. He pitched in a low-leverage situation Friday, but then entered Saturday's game in the ninth inning with the score knotted at 3-3. That suggests Leasure may be the best option to speculate on saves for the White Sox, but opportunities will likely remain limited.

Charged with blown save Leasure allowed one hit and one walk without recording an out to blow the save Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact Leasure entered the game in the ninth inning with one out and the bases loaded while being tasked with protecting a two-run lead. He walked the first batter he faced before surrendering a two-run double to Spencer Torkelson to blow the save chance. It was a tough spot for Leasure, but he didn't handle the pressure situation well. Nevertheless, he could be an option in high-leverage spots having recorded six strikeouts across five appearances and 3.2 innings in a White Sox bullpen that lacks standout talent.

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The White Sox reinstated Leasure (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Impact Leasure allowed three earned runs over 4.1 innings during his rehab assignment with Charlotte, and he will now remain in the minors despite being fully recovered from his shoulder impingement. The 26-year-old carries a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 31.1 innings in the majors this year and most likely won't make another appearance for the White Sox over the final eight games of the year.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts up rehab assignment Leasure (shoulder) made his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, striking out one and issuing one walk and giving up no hits over a scoreless inning.

Impact Leasure began his rehab assignment last Friday and turned in a 1-2-3 inning for Charlotte that day before following up Tuesday with another strong appearance. On the shelf since July 20 with a right shoulder impingement, Leasure looks like he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list this weekend and rejoin the bullpen. He'll be a candidate to fill a high-leverage role and could even factor into the closer picture, but save opportunities will likely be few and far between for the 33-113 White Sox down the stretch.

Throws second bullpen Leasure (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Friday and is scheduled to throw another Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Leasure has been on the shelf since July 20 with a right shoulder impingement, but has completed a pair of bullpen sessions and has a third on tap. It's unclear if the White Sox plan on sending Leasure on a minor-league rehab assignment, but the 25-year-old should be expected back in the first half of September.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will start throwing Thursday Leasure (shoulder) will begin a throwing program Thursday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Leasure landed on the injured list July 20 due to a right shoulder impingement, but he has finally been given the green light to begin throwing again. The White Sox haven't specified a target date for the 25-year-old to return to their bullpen, though as a reliever, it shouldn't take too long for him to build back up.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 15-day IL Leasure was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement Saturday, retroactive to July 17, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Leasure last appeared in a game Sunday, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk over one inning against the Pirates. He will now be forced to miss at least 15 days, but considering the injury is to his throwing arm, he'll likely be sidelined longer. In a corresponding move, left-hander Sammy Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Struggling since return to majors Leasure allowed one earned run on one hit across one inning of work to earn a hold in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Impact Leasure still earned his ninth hold of the season despite serving up a solo homer to Matt Wallner. He has made two appearances since rejoining the big-league club Monday, though he's given up three homers and five earned runs. The White Sox may be interested in continuing to give Leasure looks in high-leverage situations to aid his development, but he's given up at least one earned run in five of his last 10 outings.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back up with big club The White Sox recalled Leasure from Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Leasure was optioned nearly a month ago following a rough stretch which saw him allowing six runs over his last 3.2 innings. He held a 2.52 ERA prior to that, albeit with a 22:14 K:BB across 25 frames. Leasure is a candidate for high-leverage innings eventually but could be eased into such situations.
