Phillies place closer Jhoan Duran on 15-day injured list with left oblique strain

The Philadelphia Phillies placed closer Jhoan Duran on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain before Saturday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves

Cut by Phillies The Phillies released Leon on Saturday.

Impact Leon was unable to land a spot on the active roster out of spring training, and after slashing .283/.358/.326 through 12 games at Triple-A, the 27-year-old will now attempt to find an opportunity in the open market. Felix Reyes was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Misses out on Opening Day roster The Phillies optioned Leon to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Leon had been in contention for a reserve spot in the Phillies' Opening Day outfield but was unable to distinguish himself in spring training, slashing just .231/.355/.308 with a 4:7 BB:K over 31 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League. The 27-year-old should be in line for an everyday role at Lehigh Valley and will likely rank near the top of the list for a call-up if the Phillies should have an opening in the big-league outfield at any point.

Claimed off waivers by Phillies The Phillies claimed Leon off waivers from the Orioles on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Leon has now gone from the Astros to the Orioles and now to the Phillies via waivers this month. The 27-year-old was limited to only 25 rehab games in 2025 due to a nagging knee issue, though he was healthy by the end of the season. Leon slashed .299/.372/.514 with 24 homers and 29 stolen bases at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024 and has minor-league options remaining. The Phillies have openings in their outfield, but Leon will likely begin the 2026 season back in the minors.

DFA'd by Baltimore The Orioles designated Leon (knee) for assignment Tuesday.

Impact The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers by Baltimore earlier in November but is already off the 40-man roster. Leon spent the 2025 season on the injured list due to knee issues, though he did play in 25 rehab games in the minors.

Claimed by Baltimore The Orioles claimed Leon (knee) off waivers from the Astros on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact The Astros attempted to slip Leon through waivers as they did some 40-man roster housecleaning, but the Orioles have scooped the outfielder up. Leon was limited to only 94 rehab plate appearances in 2025 while batting a nagging knee issue, though he was playing in games at the end of the year and should enter spring training healthy. The 27-year-old slashed .299/.372/.514 with 24 homers and 29 stolen bases at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024. He should compete for an Opening Day roster spot but does have minor-league options remaining.

Waived by Astros The Astros placed Leon (knee) on outright waivers Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Leon spent all of 2025 on the injured list while battling knee problems, though he managed to slash .241/.312/.422 over 94 Triple-A plate appearances across multiple rehab assignments. He may be fully healthy by the time the 2026 season starts, but he will most likely remain in the minor leagues as organizational depth.
