Rangers' Jose Leclerc: Opens season with 15:1 K:BB ratio

Leclerc tossed 1.2 scoreless innings in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Twins, giving up no hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Analysis:

While Matt Bush seems to have secured closing duties for the time being, Leclerc might rank as the next-best reliever out of the Rangers bullpen. The rookie has opened up the season with nine innings of one-run ball, during which he's struck out 15 batters and conceded only one walk. The 23-year-old probably won't see enough innings to offer much help to fantasy owners' ratios in deeper mixed leagues, but he could provided some quality value in AL-only formats if he's still available.
