Tyler Mahle Heads To The Injured List
3 months agoTexas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said the team is putting right-hander Tyler Mahle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with right-shoulder stiffness and activating right-hander Jon Gray (groin) from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move. Mahle returned from Tommy John surgery recently but only was able to make three starts for Texas before landing back on the shelf. The 29-year-old allowed seven earned runs on 14 hits (one homer) while walking four and striking out 10 in 12 2/3 innings in those three starts. It's unclear if Mahle will be able to come off the IL when he's eligible. In the meantime, Gray figures to fill Mahle's spot in Texas' starting rotation and is worth a look for starting depth in mixed leagues to close out the year. With Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Jacob deGrom (elbow) also returning soon, Mahle may not have a rotation spot to return to when he's healthy.
