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.
The Texas Rangers placed rookie left fielder Evan Carter on the injured list due to a stress reaction in his back, expecting him to miss about a month. Meanwhile, Tyler Mahle is progressing in his recovery from Tommy John surgery and could debut post-All-Star Break. Cody Bradford and Justin Foscue are also making strides in their recoveries, with Foscue starting a rehab assignment.
The Texas Rangers' offseason plans for building a strong starting pitching rotation have hit a snag with Max Scherzer undergoing surgery for a herniated disk in his lower back, which is expected to keep him out until June or July. The team recently signed Tyler Mahle, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and may be available in the second half of the season. The Rangers are also considering Clayton Kershaw, who is recovering from surgery, but his decision between the Dodgers and Rangers is still pending. The team is looking to reinforce their rotation for the start of the year, but budget constraints and complications with cable TV rights are adding challenges to their offseason plans.
The Texas Rangers have signed starting pitcher Tyler Mahle to a two-year deal worth $22 million, with potential performance bonuses. Mahle, who previously played for the Cincinnati Reds and Minnesota Twins, has shown promise when healthy and is expected to return from Tommy John surgery around the All-Star Break in 2024. This signing adds depth to the Rangers' rotation for the latter part of the season, alongside Jacob deGrom's potential return.
The Texas Rangers have signed pitcher Tyler Mahle to a two-year contract. Mahle, who previously played for the Minnesota Twins, is expected to miss part of the 2024 season due to rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The deal is worth $22 million with an additional $5 million in potential bonuses based on his 2025 innings tally. Mahle had shown promise as a mid-rotation starter during his time with the Cincinnati Reds, with a 3.93 ERA in 332 innings pitched.
The Cincinnati Reds defeated the St. Louis Cardinals with the help of new stars Jose Barrero and Delino DeShields Jr. DeShields scored from first on Spencer Steer's double, while Barrero rifled a fastball to score Matt McLain. Pitcher Abbott pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his second career start, and Luke Maile had a pair of doubles and drove in three runs for the Reds.
Minnesota Twins pitcher Tyler Mahle will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery after only making nine starts with the team due to injury. Mahle was diagnosed with an impingement in the rear of his right elbow and a flexor pronator strain, but a second opinion revealed that his ulnar collateral ligament had loosened to the point of destabilizing his arm. The Twins traded three Top 30 prospects to the Reds to acquire Mahle at last season’s Trade Deadline, but have built up enough quality depth to weather his absence.
Minnesota Twins' right-hander Tyler Mahle will be shut down for four weeks due to a posterior impingement and a flexor pronator strain. Mahle's injury is a setback for the Twins, who are already without Kenta Maeda due to a strained right triceps issue. The Twins have called up Bailey Ober from Triple-A to replace Maeda in the rotation, and Louie Varland is the likeliest candidate to be called up in Mahle's place. Mahle's injury could hamper his chances of maximizing his value on his next contract as he is a free agent after the season.
Brice Turang continues to put up monster Fantasy numbers, while Nolan Gorman is starting to look like a post-hype sleeper. Steals are up, BA is up, and time of game is down through the first four days of the season. Tyler Mahle and Braxton Garrett are among the top waiver adds, while Chris Bassitt and Alek Manoah struggled in their first starts. Liam Hendriks revealed he's starting his last round of chemotherapy and could return in late May.
The Minnesota Twins defeated the Miami Marlins 11-1 with an explosive offense that included four home runs from Max Kepler, Joey Gallo, Trevor Larnach, and Ryan Jeffers. Tyler Mahle pitched five innings, giving up only one run and striking out seven batters. Luis Arraez scored the Marlins' lone run. The Twins bullpen also contributed to the win, with Jorge Alcala pitching two innings and Cole Sands making his 2023 debut. The Twins will face the Marlins again on Tuesday with Kenta Maeda starting for the Twins and Sandy Alcantara starting for the Marlins.
