Takes loss Mahle (0-1) allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five to take the loss Sunday against the Cardinals.
Impact Mahle surrendered the majority of the damage against him on a two-run home run by Harrison Bader in the second inning. He was solid otherwise, generating 11 swinging strikes on 71 total pitches and holding the Cardinals to only one additional extra-base hit. Mahle last pitched on Aug. 12 prior to this appearance, which limited the length he was able to work. He's had an inconsistent role with the club this point, but should be in line to draw another start for the team's doubleheader Saturday against the Cubs.

Starting Sunday Mahle will pick up another start Sunday in St. Louis, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact With the Reds playing a doubleheader on Wednesday, the Reds had a need for a sixth starter. Mahle last pitched on August 12, essentially missing a turn by the time he pitches again on Sunday, so he might not be able to pitch much more than three-to-four innings.

Allows three runs in relief Mahle gave up three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.
Impact Wade Miley (groin) got the start in his return from the IL, but Miley only threw 44 pitches and Mark Sheldon of MLB.com suggests the lefty may be hurt again. Mahle was making a case to remain a starter with his performance during Miley's absence, and his return to the bullpen could be short lived whether Miley is indeed injured or not. Mahle now has a 3.38 ERA and 16:6 K:BB, with only one home run allowed in 13.1 innings.

Shifting back to bullpen Mahle is available out of the bullpen Sunday since Wade Miley (groin) will rejoin the starting rotation this week, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was impressive in his two fill-in starts with a 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 10 innings, but he'll rejoin the bullpen with the rotation getting back to full strength. Mahle's strong showing should keep him as the top option for any spot starts if the Reds suffer any more injuries to the rotation, and he could also be a piggyback option if Miley is unable to work deep in his first start off the injured list Wednesday.

Impressive against Cleveland Mahle allowed one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Tuesday. He struck out six.
Impact Mahle was matched up against Shane Bieber and certainly played up to the level of competition, lowering his ERA to 1.80 through two starts this season. He had to watch as the bullpen gave up the lead, but Mahle is pitching well (10:3 K:BB, zero home runs), well enough to where he may force the team to reconsider Wade Miley's role upon Miley's eventual return from a groin injury. As things tentatively line up, Mahle appears slated for a favorable two-step next week (vs. KC, vs. PIT).

Next start coming Tuesday Mahle is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday versus Cleveland, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Mahle initially lined up for a two-start week, but with Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder) due back from the injured list this weekend and with Thursday's game against the Cubs being rained out, the Reds have elected to push Mahle to the back of their pitching schedule. While he'll miss out on a more favorable matchup in Detroit on Sunday and instead draw a tougher assignment at home, Mahle will at least maintain his spot in the rotation after Wade Miley (groin) moved to the IL.

Getting another start Mahle is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Tigers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact With Wade Miley (groin) landing on the injured list, Mahle will stick in the big-league rotation for at least one more turn. The right-hander held his own during a start against the Cubs earlier in the week, allowing two earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four batters in four innings.

Slated to go on injured list Miley will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a groin injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Miley struggled in his season debut against the Cubs on Monday, and his injury designation could help provide an explanation for his lack of results. He'll officially be placed on the injured list Friday, which means that he'll miss his scheduled start for the weekend. As a result, Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder) will start Saturday's contest with Tyler Mahle taking the mound Sunday. The severity of Miley's injury is unclear, but the southpaw may not have a spot in the rotation once he returns with DeSclafani set to return.

Throws four innings Mahle allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four across four innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Mahle worked through two innings without issue, but was set back in the third inning when it appeared that Shogo Akiyama lost a ball in the sun. That allowed Jason Kipnis to start the inning with a triple, and later come around to score. The next frame, Mahle allowed three consecutive singles, which accounted for his second earned run. On the the positive side, Mahle allowed only the aforementioned extra-base hit, and also racked up 15 called strikes and 10 swinging strikes on 69 total pitches. Mahle may find himself out of the rotation after this start, however, as Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder) projects to be healthy enough to take his next turn through the rotation at Detroit.

Expected to start next week Mahle will most likely replace Anthony DeSclafani (teres major strain) in the Reds' rotation, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact DeSclafani insists that he will only miss one start, but there is now an opening in the rotation for Mahle to begin the season. He lines up for a home start against the Cubs on Tuesday. If DeSclafani ends up needing more time, Mahle would get a second start next week at Detroit with the Reds playing seven games.
