Agrees to terms with Athletics The Athletics agreed to a contract with Leiter on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact The terms of the deal are not yet known. Leiter was non-tendered by the Yankees last month after posting a 4.84 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 48.1 regular-season innings in 2025, but a 3.55 FIP and 54:17 were encouraging. He's collected a 28.3 percent strikeout rate over the past four regular seasons and could be in the mix for saves as part of an unsettled Athletics bullpen.

Dumped by Yankees The Yankees did not tender Leiter a contract for 2026 on Friday, making him a free agent.
Impact The right-hander was expected to net around $3.75 million in his second year of arbitration, which apparently wasn't interested in paying. Leiter recorded two saves and 16 holds during the 2025 regular season but wasn't particularly reliable with a 4.84 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 59 outings.

Reinstated from IL The Yankees activated Leiter (leg) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact Leiter is recovered from the left fibular head stress fracture that sent him to the injured list in early July, and he's back with the Yankees after delivering a scoreless frame in his lone rehab appearance. The right-hander has a 4.46 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 34.1 innings and should return to a middle-relief role for New York.

Due back from IL on Tuesday The Yankees are expected to reinstate Leiter (fibula) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Impact New York has already cleared a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen by optioning right-hander Jake Bird to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but Leiter's activation isn't expected to be made official until a few hours prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers. After landing on the IL on July 8 due to a left fibular head stress fracture, Leiter made rapid progress in his recovery and made a rehab appearance for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, tossing a scoreless inning. He'll likely work in middle relief for the Yankees.
