Rangers place Leiter on IL with lingering ankle injury, and Seager is still out with a concussion
The Rangers said Leiter’s ankle injury has worsened and Seager remains unavailable while he works through concussion recovery.
- On Sunday, the Texas Rangers placed pitcher Jack Leiter on the 15-day injured list with an ankle issue, while star shortstop Corey Seager remains in concussion protocol and unavailable to play.
- President of baseball operations Chris Young said the 26-year-old Leiter aggravated his right ankle in April on an on-deck circle, forcing him to alter his delivery and compensate for the injury.
- Although Seager was eligible to return Friday, manager Skip Schumaker said the two-time World Series MVP remains day to day and will join the upcoming 10-game road trip to Miami, Toronto and Cleveland.
- The Rangers recalled right-hander Jose Corniell from Triple-A Round Rock to address the rotation vacancy, though the team did not announce how they would fill Leiter's spot for Tuesday's game in Miami.
- Young noted that Leiter's decision to pitch through pain demonstrated his competitiveness, but the organization decided to prioritize his long-term health: "We cannot put him in harm's way. He's too important to our future.
