Tyler Mahle Diagnosed With Elbow Impingement
Tyler Mahle (elbow) met with Dr. Chris Camp on Thursday and didn't undergo any imaging. The team is calling Mahle's injury an impingement to the back of his elbow, and it's still up in the air if he'll make his next start. Mahle will take anti-inflammatory medication and see how he responds in the next 48 to 72 hours. The 28-year-old left his start early on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals, but it doesn't sound as if the injury is too serious. If he's able to make his start, fantasy managers should be very wary about using him in starting lineups. There's still a very real possibility that he'll go on the injured list, too. Mahle has a nice 3.16 ERA (4.29 FIP), 1.05 WHIP, five walks and 28 K's in 25 2/3 innings over his five starts so far in 2023.

Tyler Mahle Strikes Out Nine Over Six Shutout Innings
Tyler Mahle was dominant in a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Mahle threw six shutout innings while allowing two hits, walking three, and striking out nine to improve his record to 3-0 on the season. The veteran hurler was on top of his game in the start, picking up 18 swinging strikes against the Angels. Mahle has been excellent to start the year for the Rangers, posting a 0.92 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts over 19 2/3 innings of work. He will be put to the test in his next start, however, as he is slated to face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Tyler Mahle Delivers Quality Start, Second Win
Tyler Mahle had another strong start for the Rangers in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field to win his second game of the season. Mahle delivered a quality start for his fantasy managers by allowing only one earned run on two hits while walking one and fanning four in seven innings pitched. Although the strikeout numbers don't really jump off the page, it was an impressive outing on a chilly day in Chicago. The 30-year-old veteran, who made only eight starts combined with the Twins and Rangers the last two years due to injuries, has now pieced together three straight strong starts to begin the year after he gave up only an earned run while walking six and striking out eight in 6 2/3 innings in his first two starts against the Red Sox and Rays. Mahle's next start will come against the Angels, who have gotten off to a surprising 7-3 start.

Tyler Mahle Throws Five Shutout Innings In Win
Tyler Mahle tossed five innings of shutout ball in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Rays, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out five batters on the way to earning his first win of the season. The righty bounced back well after he was unable to get through two innings the last time out, which included walking four batters. The 30-year-old missed most of 2023 and 2024 recovering from Tommy John surgery, but posted a 4.40 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, and a 16.5 percent K-BB% during his last full season in 2022. He'll look to keep the momentum going in his next turn through the rotation when he squares off with the Cubs in Chicago.

Tyler Mahle Pitches In Minor-League Game
Tyler Mahle (forearm) pitched in a minor-league game in camp on Thursday against Double-A Northwest Arkansas and allowed three runs in four innings while allowing six hits, walking none and striking out five. He threw 42 of his 55 pitches for strikes and tossed an extra 10 pitches in the bullpen after being scratched from his Cactus League start earlier this week with right-forearm tightness. The 30-year-old's MRI results didn't show any structural damage in his arm, though, and Mahle should be able to get back into a spring training game soon. It's great news for a pitcher who only made three starts in 2024 in his return from Tommy John surgery in 2023. He also missed time late last year with a shoulder injury. Because his innings will be limited in 2025, Mahle is really only worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues.
