Fantasy Analysis
Leroux appears to be making some progress toward getting back on the field, but he is still a ways away. While He he might land a spot back in the bullpen when healthy, he won't be in line for saves, making Leroux a player worth avoiding in all formats at this point in the season. (Updated 05/04/2012).
