The Texas Rangers expect Jose Leclerc to miss extended time because of right elbow soreness.

Chris Young said Monday the Rangers won't know how long Leclerc will be out until after he is examined by team physician Dr. Keith Meister. The 22-year-old reported the soreness after a recent spring training outing.

Texas already announced earlier this month that fellow reliever Jonathan Hernandez was diagnosed with a sprained elbow ligament.
