Wade LeBlanc News
Free-agent left-hander Wade LeBlanc is calling it a career after 13 seasons in the big leagues, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The 37-year-old had an up and down career altogether but will end with a lifetime ERA of 4.54, spending time with nine clubs. LeBlanc went unsigned during the offseason but pitched in 2021 for the Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals, combining for a 4.41 ERA with 29 strikeouts and a 1.49 WHIP over 49 innings and nine starts. The former second-round pick had no fantasy value before he decided to retire, so this announcement will not affect even the deepest of leagues.
St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Wade LeBlanc (elbow) will miss the remainder of the year with a left elbow injury, according to Derrick S. Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. LeBlanc was placed on the injured list on August 13, and his recovery hasn't been going as planned. Before being sidelined, he had a 4.41 ERA with 29 strikeouts over 49 innings but had a 3.53 ERA in eight starts this season. Fantasy managers who haven't dropped him already will now need to look for starting options on the waiver wire.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Wade LeBlanc (elbow) is expected to miss more than 10 days on the injured list. It sounds like he won't return when eligible while he deals with an elbow injury. This is frustrating news for the Cards with Kwang Hyun Kim (elbow) also sidelined right now. The Cardinals are hopeful to get both of their pitchers back by the end of August. Unlike Kim, LeBlanc doesn't carry standard league value and is likely only an NL-only option right now. Fantasy managers can probably find a decent substitute while LeBlanc is sidelined.
