Leiter Cleared for Monday Start Against Yankees Following Ankle Injury

Texas Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter has been cleared to start Monday's series opener against the New York Yankees. Leiter had been dealing with an ankle issue, but his return to the mound indicates he is healthy enough to rejoin the rotation. The matchup against the Yankees will be a high-profile test for the young pitcher as Texas looks to kick off the new series with a strong performance at home following Leiter's brief injury scare and recovery period.
