Tyler Mahle Scratched On Tuesday With "Forearm Soreness"
19 seconds agoTexas Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle (forearm) was scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start on Tuesday versus the division-rival Los Angeles Angels with what was described as "forearm soreness." The Rangers are taking an abundance of caution, but as the Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant points out, there is always caution and concern when it comes to a forearm injury. Young right-hander Jack Leiter took Mahle's place as the starter on Tuesday. It's especially concerning for the 30-year-old Mahle because of the fact that he made only three starts in 2024 before undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery. If Mahle is unable to be ready for the start of the regular season, it would open up a starting rotation spot for either Leiter or Kumar Rocker. Mahle has started only eight big-league games the last two seasons with the Twins and Rangers due to injuries.
