Impact The nature of LeBlanc's injury isn't yet known, but it's believed to be arm-related, as Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com notes that the lefty's last pitch before departing was a curveball that was just 65.7 miles per hour. Tom Eshelman was summoned in relief of LeBlanc and could be the next man up to join the rotation if the southpaw is forced to head to the IL.
