TYLER MAHLE NEWS

Back in Cactus League Mahle allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in Tuesday's start against the Guardians.

Impact Mahle was back in a major-league setting, making his fourth Cactus League start, after spending time with minor leaguers following a minor forearm issue. While Mahle worked his way back from forearm soreness, the Rangers pitching staff was hit hard by injuries to Cody Bradford (elbow) and Jon Gray (wrist). That means Mahle becomes a more important piece in the rotation. The right-hander looks ready for the regular season with a 3.21 ERA and 12 strikeouts over 14 Cactus League innings.

Scratched due to forearm soreness Mahle was scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start versus the Angels due to right forearm soreness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers are saying the move was made out of an abundance of caution. Still, given that Mahle just returned from Tommy John surgery last season, the news is disconcerting.

Makes spring debut Mahle allowed two runs on four hits and struck out two over two innings in Saturday's spring start against the the Giants.

Impact Mahle gave up some loud contact during his Cactus League debut, including a two-run home run to former Ranger Sam Huff. After a couple of seasons marred by Tommy John elbow surgery and a shoulder injury, Mahle is expected to win a job in the Rangers' rotation.

Impact Mahle was eventually shut down after three August starts due to shoulder soreness. As a result of being shutdown, Mahle worked on mechanical adjustments during the winter designed to limit the stress on his shoulder. "It was probably good that [the shutdown] happened, because we figured out what was wrong with my shoulder," Mahle explained. He's healthy and expected to take up a spot in the middle of the Rangers' rotation. The 30-year-old has been bedeviled by injuries during his major-league career, throwing more than 130 innings just once (180 innings in 2021).

Moves to 60-day IL The Rangers transferred Mahle (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Mahle was already ruled out for the rest of the season earlier in the month, so his move to the 60-day IL will simply create space on the 40-man roster for Matt Duffy, whose contract was selected from Triple-A on Tuesday. Mahle will celebrate his 30th birthday on Sunday, and he figures to be ready for the start of next season.

Won't return in 2024 Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Mahle (shoulder) will not make another start this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Mahle landed on the injured list Aug. 20 due to stiffness in his right shoulder, but there doesn't seem to be enough time left in the regular season for him to build back up. The 29-year-old right-hander will continue to play catch, however, so he's not being shut down entirely. He'll finish the year with seven earned runs allowed over 12.2 innings across only three starts, as he missed the first half of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially placed on IL The Rangers placed Mahle on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder tightness.

Impact Mahle allowed four earned runs over three inning during his most recent start Sunday. He'll now be forced to miss several turns through the rotation, as the Rangers have deemed his injury severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Jon Gray (groin) was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move and will act as Mahle's replacement in Texas' rotation.

Heading to IL Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that the Rangers will place Mahle on the injured list with shoulder stiffness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Mahle made his return from Tommy John surgery Aug. 6 and made three starts since, logging a 4.97 ERA in 12.2 innings. His most recent start ended after three innings and it appears he picked up an injury during the outing. The Rangers are expected to recall Jon Gray to fill Mahle's spot in the rotation.

Chased after three innings Mahle allowed four runs on six hits and struck out one without walking a batter over three innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.

Impact Mahle struggled early, giving up three runs in the first inning to his former team. Ryan Jeffers had a two-run blast in that frame and an RBI single in the third, and Mahle was done at 61 pitches (41 strikes), making this the shortest of his three starts since he returned from Tommy John surgery. He's pitched to a 4.97 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 12.2 innings in those appearances. He's tentatively projected for a road start in Cleveland in his next outing.

Fans seven in no-decision Mahle did not factor into the decision in Monday's loss to Boston, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The Texas righty generated 15 whiffs en route to his seven punchouts, as he fired 92 pitches in this performance. However, Mahle did struggle with his control at times -- a hallmark of those returning from an elbow injury -- as he allowed three free passes against a patient Red Sox team that took walked nine times total in the contest. After his first 9.2 innings with the Rangers, Mahle's ERA now stands at 2.79 with 9:4 K:BB. He is scheduled to make his next start against the Twins at home this weekend.

Out-dueled in 2024 debut Mahle (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Rangers were downed 4-2 by the Astros, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.

Impact Making his season debut after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, Mahle tossed an efficient 76 pitches (49 strikes) but had the misfortune of facing Framber Valdez, who took a no-hitter into the ninth inning. Mahle should fill a rotation spot for Texas the rest of the way in 2024, and he should get stretched out further in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Boston.

The right-hander threw 74 pitches in his most latest minor-league rehab start and shouldn't face and significant workload restrictions Tuesday.

Set for team debut Tuesday The Rangers will reinstate Mahle (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and have him start Tuesday's game against the Astros in Arlington, Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact The transaction will be made official later Tuesday, when the Rangers will also announce a corresponding 40-man roster move. After completing his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Mahle will be making his Rangers and season debuts Tuesday. The right-hander gradually got stretched out over the course of six rehab starts, most recently tossing 4.2 innings and 74 pitches this past Wednesday with Triple-A Round Rock. The return of Mahle should bolster the back end of a Texas rotation that's currently three of its top contributors in Jacob deGrom (elbow), Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Jon Gray (groin).
