The Rangers are set to recall the second overall pick of the 2021 draft, right-hander Jack Leiter, to the big league club today. Leiter struggled early in his professional career, but he's managed to turn things around at Triple-A with a solid 3.51 ERA and 33.3% strikeout rate. Texas wants to see how he looks in a more consistent major league role, especially with a tough first assignment against the Yankees.
The Diamondbacks faced a setback when outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was pulled from a game due to a calf injury he sustained while attempting to beat a double play. Manager Torey Lovullo described Gurriel as day-to-day and mentioned that he will undergo an MRI to assess the injury's severity. This injury comes as Gurriel has had a comparable season to his previous one, further emphasizing its potential impact.
