The Phillies claimed Leon off waivers from the Orioles on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leon has now gone from the Astros to the Orioles and now to the Phillies via waivers this month. The 27-year-old was limited to only 25 rehab games in 2025 due to a nagging knee issue, though he was healthy by the end of the season. Leon slashed .299/.372/.514 with 24 homers and 29 stolen bases at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024 and has minor-league options remaining. The Phillies have openings in their outfield, but Leon will likely begin the 2026 season back in the minors.

The Orioles claimed Leon (knee) off waivers from the Astros on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros attempted to slip Leon through waivers as they did some 40-man roster housecleaning, but the Orioles have scooped the outfielder up. Leon was limited to only 94 rehab plate appearances in 2025 while batting a nagging knee issue, though he was playing in games at the end of the year and should enter spring training healthy. The 27-year-old slashed .299/.372/.514 with 24 homers and 29 stolen bases at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024. He should compete for an Opening Day roster spot but does have minor-league options remaining.

The Astros placed Leon (knee) on outright waivers Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leon spent all of 2025 on the injured list while battling knee problems, though he managed to slash .241/.312/.422 over 94 Triple-A plate appearances across multiple rehab assignments. He may be fully healthy by the time the 2026 season starts, but he will most likely remain in the minor leagues as organizational depth.

Leon (knee) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leon has spent the entire season on the injured list, as he was diagnosed with a Grade 1 MCL sprain his left knee in late February, then aggravated the injury in late May during his rehab assignment. After a couple weeks of rest, Leon was cleared to resume activities around the middle of June, but he endured a slow ramp-up period before finally demonstrating enough progress for the Astros to clear him for game action. Given the length of his absence, Leon will likely require an extended rehab assignment, and he could end up being optioned to Sugar Land once he's formally activated from the 60-day IL.

The Astros transferred Leon (knee) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jordan Weems. It does not alter the timeline for Leon, who has been out all season with a sprained knee and who suffered a setback on his rehab assignment earlier this month.

Leon (knee) will continue his rehab at Triple-A Sugar Land and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday or Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reported Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis

Leon (knee) was sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment.
EDGE Analysis
Leon's recovery from a Grade 1 MCL strain in his left knee has come along more slowly than expected, but he's finally ready to test himself in a game setting. The outfielder has been shelved since late February, so his rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one. Leon is a good bet to be optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land after being activated from the 10-day injured list.

Leon (knee) is expected to be ready to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land in late April, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leon was limited to just one game in spring training due to a Grade 1 MCL strain suffered in late February. He's coming along in his rehab and is nearly game-ready. Barring an unexpected need in the Houston outfield, Leon is likely to be optioned back to Sugar Land once he completes his rehab assignment and is activated from the 10-day injured list.
