Jun 23 2025Leasure will open Tuesday's game against Arizona, Jack Ankony of SI.com repots. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Leasure will attempt to handle the first inning or two before handing the ball to a bulk reliever. Tyler Alexander is a candidate to work in long relief Tuesday evening.
May 25 2025Leasure (0-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out two in the ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Leasure was called upon to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning but immediately ran into trouble, hitting the leadoff batter and giving up a double. A fielding error allowed the tying run to score before Adolis Garcia delivered a crushing two-run double. The 26-year-old Leasure is now just 1-for-5 in save chances and owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 19 innings this season.
May 21 2025Leasure earned his first save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Mariners after tossing a scoreless ninth inning. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Leasure worked around a two-out double from Donovan Solano to close out the game for his first save this season and third save of his career. He's now punched out eight batters in his last four innings and has compiled five holds and a save in May. For the season, Leasure owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB in 16.1 innings.
May 7 2025Leasure retired the only batter he faced in the eighth inning to earn a hold Tuesday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Leasure entered the game with the tying run at second base in the eighth inning and retired the only batter he faced on three pitches to escape the jam. He was surprisingly not brought back out for the ninth inning despite the light workload, with Cam Booser instead blowing a save chance and taking the loss. This usage suggests that Leasure is the White Sox's preferred highest-leverage reliever -- rather than designated closer -- though it's difficult to speculate on the closer role given that the team has only one save for the season.
