Rangers' Jose Leclerc: On track for June return

Leclerc (elbow) is trending towards a return in mid-to-late June, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports.

Leclerc underwent Tommy John surgery in late March of last year. He remains on a fairly standard timeline and should have the chance to be available for just over half the season. Once he returns, it's possible he pushes for the closer job, given that preseason favorite Joe Barlow doesn't seem to be anything special. Jonathan Hernandez will also return from Tommy John surgery around that time and could also challenge for the role.
