Leiter was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Leiter was optioned to Triple-A on July 17 but will make his way back to the majors after Pedro Beato was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a hamstring strain. Leiter posted a 4.25 ERA over 36 innings (including three starts) with the Phillies earlier this season. He'll work out of the bullpen for the time being.

Leiter was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

In his first big-league appearance since July 4, Leiter was saddled with the loss Monday after surrendering a walk-off single to Dee Gordon in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Phillies have not yet announced the corresponding move with Leiter's demotion.

Leiter has been moved to the bullpen, Jake Lourim and Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer report.

EDGE Analysis

Leiter has pitched well since he was inserted into the Phillies' rotation in late-June, but will shift to the pen now that Jared Eickhoff is returning from the disabled list. He will likely see most of his work in long relief and lower-leverage situations.

Manager Pete Mackanin said he is unsure what Leiter's role will be once Jared Eickhoff (back) returns from the disabled list, Tom Dougherty of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff appears to be on track for a return from the disabled list on Sunday which will bump Leiter from the rotation. Mackanin said he would like to keep Leiter in the bullpen unless GM Matt Klentak wants to keep him stretched out at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Leiter (1-1) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks across 5.1 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Leiter cruised through five innings, allowing his only run on a wild double play in the third inning, but was removed after yielding a solo home run to Andrew McCutchen with one out in the sixth. Unfortunately, his offense was unable to get anything going against Jameson Taillon, resigning him to his first loss of the season despite a solid effort. Leiter has posted a 3.31 ERA with a solid 16:3 K:BB over 16.1 innings in his last three starts, and he appears to be gaining a grasp on his spot in the rotation. He's not currently scheudled to make another start before the All-Star break, but it would not be surprising to see him given a longer look when the second half commences.

Leiter will start Tuesday against the Pirates, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jared Eickhoff will make a rehab start Tuesday rather than returning to the major-league rotation, leaving Leiter to make one more start before the All-Star break. He has a 3.27 ERA and an 11:1 K:BB in 11 innings over two starts in place of Eickhoff.

Leiter pitched five innings, allowing four runs on nine hits, with six strikeouts in Wednesday's 5-4 win in Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Leiter made his second start of the season Wednesday and got hit a lot harder this time around. Three of the nine hits he allowed over five innings were home runs. Leiter's one saving grace was that he didn't allow any walks, keeping the Phillies in the game and allowing them a chance to come back. This was likely his last start for the foreseeable future, as Jerad Eickhoff (back) is expected to reclaim his spot in the rotation on Tuesday. Leiter offers little fantasy value once he returns to the bullpen.

Leiter was confirmed as the starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jerad Eickhoff (back) not quite ready to return to the rotation, Leiter will get another chance to start in his place. The 26-year-old impressed in his first spot start for the Phillies, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out five batters in six scoreless frames against a potent Diamondbacks offense. He'll look to keep it up against a hot-hitting Seattle offense that has scored the most runs in the majors this month.

Leiter (1-0) fired six shutout innings, allowed just three hits and a walk and struck out five batters in his first win Friday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Leiter was unremarkable in his time in the Phillies bullpen (4.74 ERA, 12:14 K:BB), but he looked awfully sharp in his first start against one of the better lineups in the National League. He needed just 81 pitches to go the six innings and managed to keep the ball in the yard while inducing eight flyouts. Leiter managed a brilliant 27:4 K:BB in his three starts back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so it's possible that he's simply better suited to a starting role. Leiter will likely keep getting chance to prove that hypothesis until Jerad Eickhoff returns from injury.

Leiter was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will start Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Casey Fien (shoulder) was placed on the disabled list to make room for Leiter, who is set to make his first major-league start. The 26-year-old compiled a 4.74 ERA and 12:14 K:BB in 19 innings out of the Phillies' bullpen earlier in the season, and didn't fare much better with Lehigh Valley (4.74 ERA in 19 innings), so it could be a good day to stack Diamondbacks hitters against him in daily lineups.
