Jack Leiter competing for Rangers rotation spotMarch 13, 2025 | 01:21 PM

Jack Leiter is in the mix with Kumar Rocker to fill the vacancy in the Rangers' rotation left by Cody Bradford's (elbow) injury, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Writer's Analysis: With Bradford sidelined to begin the season, Texas will need a temporary replacement, and Leiter has put himself in a strong position with his spring performance. Over 10.2 innings, he has posted a 13:6 K:BB while allowing three runs, though command remains a concern after walking five in his latest outing. Leiter's stuff has shown improvement, and his dominance at times this spring makes him a serious contender for the role. The battle between him and Rocker could come down to the final days of camp.
