Texas placed Leclerc (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reported March 28 that the Rangers weren't expecting Leclerc to make his season debut until late May, but his move to the 60-day IL now implies that the reliever won't be ready to go until at least early June. Once he completes his rehab program for his March 2021 Tommy John surgery and is activated from the IL, Leclerc will vie for a key role in the Texas bullpen.
