Tyler Mahle Likely Done For The Year
3 months agoTexas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy indicated on Tuesday that right-hander Tyler Mahle (shoulder) is likely done for the remainder of the 2024 season. With the Rangers out of playoff contention in September, they aren't going to bother having Mahle try to build himself back up after landing on the injured list on Aug. 20 with right-shoulder stiffness. The 29-year-old spent most of 2024 trying to make his return from Tommy John surgery. He managed to make only three starts (12 2/3 innings) for Texas and was predictably shaky, allowing seven earned runs on 14 hits (one homer) while walking four and striking out 10 against the Astros, Red Sox and Twins. The Rangers are also shutting down fellow right-hander Jon Gray (foot) for the rest of the year due to a neuroma in his foot. Mahle was looking solid for the Twins early in 2023 before he needed TJ surgery, so perhaps he can bounce back in 2025.
