This season the Texas Rangers have 13 losses in games decided in the seventh inning or later. The bullpen has been the biggest problem all season, but help is on the way. Righty Jose Leclerc should be activated at some point this week.
He’s been out since May 8 with a right index finger injury. He made strong showings in his two rehab appearances in Double-A, and should be ready to return to Arlington soon. Will there still be a spot open for him?
Before the Leclerc injury the Rangers had an eight-man bullpen.
