He was appointed last week after Chicago signed a one-year contract. <strong>Eric Hosmer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Leiter, who turned 32 in March, signed a minor league contract with Chicago last offseason. He cracked the big league roster by Week 2 of the season. Primarily serving as his reliever option for Long in the majors, he tossed his 67 2\/3 frames in his 35 outs (including four starts). Leiter compiled his 3.99 ERA, which is decent, with better-than-average strikeout and ground ball marks (he&#8217;s 25.9% and 48.9%, respectively).<\/p>\n<p>Despite that generally solid job, he was barred from the roster this winter. That&#8217;s probably because there was skepticism within the league that Leiter, who had a 5.53 ERA in 114 innings in the major leagues heading into last year, could maintain his form in 2022. He didn&#8217;t play at the highest level from 2019 to 2021, thanks to the intervention of Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Leiter was beaten by the Blue Jays during the 2018-19 offseason. Clearing waivers for the second time in his career would give him the right to choose minor league free agency in exchange for accepting an assignment to Iowa. not.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiSGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1sYnRyYWRlcnVtb3JzLmNvbS8yMDIzLzAxL2N1YnMtb3V0cmlnaHQtbWFyay1sZWl0ZXItanIuaHRtbNIBAA?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] cubs right handed Mark Leiter Jr. not claimed in full waiver, Tweet Megan Montemurro for the Chicago Tribune.
