Rangers Place Mahle on IL, Recall Rocker Amid Pitching Challenges

The Texas Rangers placed pitcher Tyler Mahle on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder fatigue and recalled Kumar Rocker to start in his place, amid ongoing injury issues affecting their starting rotation. Mahle's recent shoulder discomfort and workload raise concerns, especially given his history of shoulder injuries and recent Tommy John surgery, leaving the team to rely on a makeshift rotation during a busy schedule.
