Wade LeBlanc has been bumped from the Marlins' starting rotation, with Tom Koehler starting in his place on Sunday
It's not surprising to see LeBlanc moved back to the bullpen, as he's been one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball this season. Through his seven starts, LeBlanc posted a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25/12 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings. He no longer holds any fantasy value. May 10 - 8:03 PM

Date:

Wade LeBlanc didn’t have it against his former team Monday, allowing four runs – three earned – over just five frames in a loss to the Padres.

LeBlanc gave up just four hits, but he walked three and needed 86 pitches to get through the five innings. The left-hander has managed just one quality start in seven chances this season, and he now sports a 6.11 ERA and 1.67 WHIP for the year. The Marlins don’t have many options, but LeBlanc’s rotation spot has to be in jeopardy. He’s currently slated to face the Dodgers this weekend.
May 7 - 12:50 AM

Wade LeBlanc was charged with four runs in 5 2/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Mets.

Two of those runs scored off A.J. Ramos after LeBlanc departed. LeBlanc was in line for the win when he exited, but with the Mets coming back, he remains 0-4 with a 6.23 ERA on the season. He might be sent to the pen when Henderson Alvarez comes off the DL.
May 1 - 3:51 PM

Wade LeBlanc struggled again in a losing effort against the Cubs on Friday, surrendering four runs on eight hits over his six innings of work.

LeBlanc whiffed two and walked one in the game. All of the damage against him came courtesy of Anthony Rizzo who blasted a pair of two-run homers. LeBlanc now sits at a disappointing 0-4 with a 6.20 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over his 24 2/3 innings. He’ll look to turn things around when he takes on the Mets on Wednesday.
Apr 26 - 10:02 PM

Wade LeBlanc gave up two runs in four innings against the Reds on Saturday.

LeBlanc needed 85 pitches to get 12 outs, as he allowed seven hits and three walks. He was replaced for a pinch-hitter in the top of the fifth inning, which led to the Marlins tying the game. The Reds eventually won in 13 innings. LeBlanc has really struggled over his last two outings and now owns a 6.27 ERA. He'll attempt to turn things around next Friday against the Cubs.
Apr 20 - 6:23 PM

Wade LeBlanc was tagged for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Nationals on Monday.

LeBlanc fell to 0-3 tonight, but this was his first poor outing of the season. Pitching for the Marlins cuts further into his limited fantasy upside.
Apr 15 - 10:05 PM

Wade LeBlanc threw six innings and allowed two runs in the Marlins' loss to the Braves on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old has now made two serviceable starts for the woeful Marlins but has nothing to show for them. Such is life in South Beach these days. LeBlanc will look to pick up his first win Monday against the Nationals.
Apr 9 - 9:50 PM

Wade LeBlanc was tagged for six runs in five innings by the Nationals in Wednesday's loss.

He can absorb the one bad outing just fine after entering with a 0.00 ERA in three starts. LeBlanc entered camp competing for the fifth spot in the Marlins' rotation, but he's probably the No. 4 starter now with Jacob Turner's place currently in doubt.
Mar 20 - 5:20 PM

Wade LeBlanc scattered five hits in four scoreless innings Sunday as the Marlins beat the Braves 11-2.

It helped that LeBlanc twice picked B.J. Upton off first base. LeBlanc is up to nine scoreless innings this spring, and he should be getting pretty close to securing a spot at the back of Miami's rotation.
Mar 10 - 4:27 PM

Wade LeBlanc fanned four in three scoreless innings Friday against the Twins.

March 1, 2013: The day the groundwork was laid for the future Aaron Hicks-for-LeBlanc trade. LeBlanc, the favorite to occupy the fifth spot in Miami's rotation, has allowed just one hit in five scoreless innings this spring.
Mar 1 - 4:48 PM

Wade LeBlanc retired all six Braves he faced in his start Monday.

LeBlanc is the favorite to serve as the Marlins' fifth starter after going 2-5 with a 3.67 ERA in nine starts and 16 relief appearances last season. He has little upside in NL-only leagues, particularly since he doesn't figure to get much run support.
Feb 25 - 4:46 PM

Wade LeBlanc allowed an unearned run over five innings Monday in a no-decision against the Mets.

LeBlanc scattered seven hits while striking out two and walking two. The only run scored on an RBI single in the fifth inning which was set up by a fielding error by Gil Velazquez. The 28-year-old southpaw will finish the season with a 3.63 ERA and 43/19 K/BB ratio over 68 2/3 innings this season and is likely to pitch in a long relief role in 2013.

Wade LeBlanc will start Monday against the Mets.

LeBlanc was shifted to the bullpen last month but is needed for a spot start on Monday night. He has posted a 3.96 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 63 2/3 innings this season.
Mon, Oct 1, 2012 11:15:00 AM

Wade LeBlanc has been moved back to the bullpen.

The Marlins will go back to a traditional five-man rotation down the stretch, as pitching coach Randy St. Claire thinks the starters had been losing their sharpness due to the extra rest. LeBlanc has put up a 3.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 23 games -- eight starts -- this season.
Sun, Sep 23, 2012 01:03:00 PM

Wade LeBlanc was lit up for six runs over only four innings in Monday’s loss to the Braves.

He allowed seven hits and a walk, with the biggest blow coming in the form of a Dan Uggla three-run homer. LeBlanc pitched decently in his first two starts since rejoining the rotation, but tonight was not his night. He’ll try to bounce back this weekend in New York.
