Blanks opponent in first rehab start
Leiter (ankle) pitched 2.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three batters in a rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
Analyse
Leiter threw 32 of his 48 pitches for strikes, and he touched 98 mph with his fastball in the first inning, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. The right-handed pitcher has been sidelined since late June while recovering from a right ankle posterior impingement, and he'll likely make multiple more rehab starts before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Beginning assignment Thursday
Leiter (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analyse
Thursday will mark Leiter's first taste of game action since he underwent surgery on his right ankle in June. He's expected to make multiple starts in the minors before returning from the injured list, and the plan is for him to throw about 40-to-45 pitches during his first outing.

Shifts to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Leiter (ankle) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analyse
The right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-June, so the move to the 60-day IL isn't expected to affect his return timeline. Leiter threw 33 pitches over two innings of live batting practice Saturday and is set to throw a bullpen session Monday, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, if Monday's side session goes well, Leiter will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Thursday and will be slated to throw 2-to-3 innings.

Throws live BP
Leiter (ankle) threw two innings and 33 pitches of live batting practice Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Leiter, who also got in some pitcher fielding practice following the session, feels he's ready for a rehab assignment, but the Rangers have made no decision about that. The right-hander has thrown two live batting practice sessions as he works his way back from right ankle surgery.
