Leclerc has been inconsistent this season, but has been trending upward of late, with seven of his last eight appearances being scoreless outings, in which he has allowed opponents a .161/.257/.258 slash line in 9.1 IP, with 10 Ks against 4 walks. The one outing where he was scored upon was a particularly bad outing, the three run, 0.1 IP game against the Angels where he allowed a pair of walks and a bomb.
