Overview
- The Rangers announced that right-hander Jack Leiter was placed on the 15-day injured list for a right ankle posterior impingement, with the roster move made retroactive to June 19.
- Leiter has struggled this season, compiling a 3-7 record and a 5.29 ERA with 83 strikeouts and 35 walks in 15 starts, and the club said there is no official timeline for his return.
- Some outlets initially reported a 10-day IL placement, but the team and MLB.com list the official designation as a 15-day injured list stint, creating a public reporting discrepancy.
- Texas recalled 22-year-old right-hander Jose Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock to provide immediate help; Corniell is a top system prospect who has shown two strong June starts and made his MLB debut in September 2025.
- The transaction leaves the Rangers at the 40-man roster limit with five players on the 60-day IL, increasing the importance of minor-league depth and making how the club reshapes its rotation the key thing to watch next.
