Free agent right-hander José Leclerc is targeting a July return after undergoing shoulder surgery last summer, as reported by Jon Heyman. The 32-year-old has a strong strikeout rate but has struggled with control, contributing 299 2/3 innings for the Rangers from 2018 to 2024. Signed by the Athletics for 2025, his season was cut short due to injury. His potential midseason return could attract contenders seeking bullpen help ahead of the August 3 trade deadline.
