Jose Leclerc Nearing Return To Closer Role
5 years agoTexas Rangers reliever Jose Leclerc is "getting closer" to returning to ninth-inning duties, per manager Chris Woodward. Leclerc picked up 12 saves with a 1.56 ERA in 2018, but he stumbled out of the gate in 2019 and lost his closer role. He has not allowed a run in nine of his last 10 appearances and owns a 1.76 ERA since the start of May. Shawn Kelly has been the go-to guy out of the Rangers' bullpen as of late, but fantasy managers that need saves would be smart to stash Leclerc.
