Mariners' Wade LeBlanc: May have turn skipped next week
LeBlanc appears in line to be skipped in the rotation next week, as the Mariners have several off days that will allow them to work with a four-man rotation.
Analysis:
The Mariners won't need a fifth starter again until Aug. 2 against the Red Sox, and LeBlanc is not listed as a projected starter next week. He has a 3.63 ERA through four starts, although his 4.57 FIP suggests he's been a bit fortunate. In most formats he is nothing more than a streaming option in favorable matchups.
