Free-agent catcher Sandy Leon re-signed a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, according to sources. Leon was just released by the team on Monday, but he'll quickly make his return. The 34-year-old backstop will begin the season in the minor leagues and will provide the club with some veteran catching depth behind Jonah Heim. He has spent 11 years in the big leagues with five different organizations, but he has done very little with the bat. In 533 career games, Leon has hit ...

The Texas Rangers signed free-agent catcher Sandy Leon to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to a source. Leon played in 33 combined games in 2022 with the Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins, hitting .169/.298/.211 with no homers, four RBI and six runs scored in 86 plate appearances. He had meniscus surgery on his right knee in October and is unlikely to be on the Opening Day roster, as the team already has backstops Jonah ...

Miami Marlins catcher Sandy Leon reached base three times and pitched a scoreless inning in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Leon got the start for a resting Jorge Alfaro and went 2-for-3 with a double, a single, a walk, and a run scored. The solid offensive performance left Leon with a .186 batting average and a .486 OPS. He hits like a pitcher, so he took the mound for the eighth inning when the score was 9-2. He ended up pitching a perfect inning, inducing one ground out and two...

Miami Marlins catcher Sandy Leon is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Leon caught each of the last two games, going 1-for-8 at the plate with five strikeouts. Chad Wallach will get the start behind the plate and bat seventh against Phillies' righty Vince Velasquez.

The Miami Marlins called up catcher Sandy Leon from their Alternate Training Site on Wednesday morning. With Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) being placed on the 10-day injured list, the Marlins needed to add a catcher to their active roster. Leon will go right into the starting lineup, batting eighth and catching rookie pitcher Trevor Rogers in Wednesday's afternoon game. Leon had one solid offensive season, back in 2016. He doesn't need to be rostered in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Cleveland Indians catcher Sandy Leon will not make the trip with the club to Pittsburgh as he has been put on the family medical emergency list, which forces him to miss at least three games. Roberto Perez will hold down full-time catcher duties with Leon not available. Leon had previously filled in during Perezs absence, producing a lackluster .119/.288/.214 slash line across 15 games. At this stage, owners can view him as a low-priced DFS consideration when he returns to the clubs active ...

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon finished 3-for-3 for two runs batted in during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees. RBI singles in the second and fourth innings gave Leon his ninth and 10th RBI of the year. It was just his second multi-hit game of the season, after beginning the year in Triple-A, and it raised his average to .216. The defensive-minded backstop draws just a handful of starts a week, and doesn't hold any fantasy value behind teammate Christian Vazquez who is hitting .297 with s[...]

The Boston Red Sox placed catcher Sandy Leon on the paternity list on Friday and called up catcher Oscar Hernandez from the minors in a corresponding move. Pitcher Chandler Shepard was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Hernandez. Leon could be out a maximum of three games on the paternity list. Hernandez was hitting .111/.216/.178 in 16 games for Double-A Portland and Pawtucket this year. He'll back up Christian Vazquez this weekend.

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon hit a three-run homer on Saturday, marking his only hit in a win over Seattle. The 369-foot shot capped off an eight-run third inning for the Sox. Leon is known for his defensive prowess and he only has two extra-base hits since being called up from Triple-A in mid-April, so don't expect a boost in power. Fellow backstop Christian Vazquez has already tied a career-high with five home runs and has a firm hold on the main catching duties in Boston. Leon will con[...]

With the calendar flipping over to May later this week, we as fantasy managers, have to legitimately assess the state of our team's play so far. [...]
