Pedro León - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected back in late April Leon (knee) is expected to be ready to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land in late April, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Leon was limited to just one game in spring training due to a Grade 1 MCL strain suffered in late February. He's coming along in his rehab and is nearly game-ready. Barring an unexpected need in the Astros' outfield, Leon is likely to be optioned back to Sugar Land once he's done rehabbing.

Impact Leon will join the Astros' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Joey Loperfido, who was dealt to the Blue Jays on Monday. The 26-year-old has posted big numbers in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season, batting .297 with 19 home runs and 23 stolen bases over 424 plate appearances with Sugar Land.
