ROUND ROCK, Texas – The Texas Rangers announced that RHP Jack Leiter is expected to make a rehab start Tuesday night at Dell Diamond. Leiter is slated to take the baseball when the Round Rock Express host the Las Vegas Aviators (Athletics affiliate) at 7:05 p.m. CT.

The right-hander made two starts for Texas before going on the Injured List on April 3 with a right middle finger blister. Prior to the injury, Leiter was 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA (1 ER/10.0 IP) with one walk and 10 strikeouts. He earned his first career victory on March 28 against the Boston Red Sox after tossing 5.0 innings with one earned run on five hits, one walk and four strikeouts.

Leiter joined LHP Cody Bradford (2023), RHP Bud Norris (2009) and RHP Jason Hirsh (2006) as the only players in E-Train history to win PCL Pitcher of the Year Award. The right-hander earned the honor last season after going 6-4 with a 3.51 ERA (30 ER/77.0 IP) with 35 walks and 110 strikeouts. Opponents hit just .217 against Leiter and he struck out 33.3 percent of the batters he faced.

He finished the season 10th in the PCL in strikeouts despite pitching in just 77.0 innings. All nine pitchers in front of him went 104.2 innings or more. Among PCL pitchers with at least 60.0 innings, his 12.86 strikeouts per nine innings figure is first in the league.

The 25-year-old was selected second overall in the 2021 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt University. He grew up in Summit, New Jersey where he went on to win New Jersey Gatorade High School Player of the Year at Delbarton School. His father, Al, pitched 19 seasons in the Major Leagues and was a two-time World Series Champion.
