Wade LeBlanc will miss at least one start with strained oblique, but he doesn’t think it’s serious

Wade LeBlanc isn’t used to talking about his injuries and his expected return from them.

Why?

“I’ve never pulled a muscle in my life,” LeBlanc said. “I’ve never pulled anything, never tore anything, never broke anything.”

Well, there was a strained quadriceps back in 2017 with the Pirates that he may be forgetting. That can happen to anyone.

But when he strained his right oblique in the fifth inning of Friday night’s start against the Astros, he wasn’t happy with the situation or the pain in the middle of his right side.

“It’s frustrating,” he said.
