Rangers Place Jack Leiter On Injured List
Briefly

Jack Leiter has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his throwing hand, despite his strong performance so far this season with 10 innings pitched allowing just one run. Veteran pitcher Patrick Corbin has been called up to fill his spot, though he is on a low pitch limit for his debut with the Rangers. Corbin has a history of durability but has struggled with high ERAs in recent seasons. The Rangers may only need a fifth starter once before Leiter returns.
Leiter’s excellent start to the season includes 10 innings of one-run ball and 10 strikeouts, showcasing his potential despite his current injury.
The Rangers recalled veteran Patrick Corbin to fill in for the injured Leiter, who is unlikely to miss more than two weeks with a finger blister.
Corbin, who hasn't pitched in Spring Training due to personal reasons, will make his debut for Texas under restrictions on pitch count.
Despite Corbin's struggles over the past few seasons, he provides the Rangers with depth and experience in the absence of the promising young pitcher.
