Mahle missed all summer with his shoulder injury, but he managed to go 6-4 with a 2.18 ERA in his 16 starts this season. His velocity and strikeout rate are down since Tommy John, and he’s qualified for the ERA title just once as a major leaguer, so he’ll be a risky signing this winter. Still, someone might give him a substantial two-year in free agency. After all, Frankie Montas got $34 million last winter.

Mahle gave up four hits, walked one and struck out six. He was pulled after just 68 pitches. The 30-year-old right-hander was mostly excellent in his first start since being placed on the injured list in June with a shoulder injury. Mahle has a 2.20 ERA and 62/28 K/BB ratio in 81 2/3 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Twins at home in the last week of the regular season.

The 30-year-old right-hander will make his triumphant return to the Rangers’ rotation on Friday evening against the Marlins. Mahle has been shelved since mid-June due to soreness in his pitching shoulder. He had been dealing before that — posting a 2.34 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 56/27 K/BB ratio over 77 innings of work. Carl Edwards Jr. was designated for assignment in a corresponding move on Friday.

Mahle threw 2 1/3 scoreless frames over the weekend in his second rehab outing and is on track to return to Texas’ injury-plagued rotation mix later this week. The 30-year-old righty has been on the shelf since mid-June recovering from shoulder soreness. There’s some appeal here for fantasy managers, especially in deeper mixed leagues, considering his track record.

Mahle has been shut down since mid-June due to soreness in his right shoulder. He’s not eligible to return from the injured list until mid-August, so the Rangers will take a cautious approach as they build him back up.

It’s merely a procedural move as Mahle is expected to be sidelined until some point in August as he recovers from a rotator cuff strain in his right shoulder. The 30-year-old has managed to avoid surgery and is expected to make it back at some point later this season in the second half.

Mahle will be shut down from throwing for at least two weeks and has not been recommended for surgery. The 30-year-old righty hit the injured list earlier this month with shoulder soreness and won’t make it back to Texas’ rotation until after the trade deadline in late July, according to Young. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until sometime in August considering he’ll need a few rehab outings to build up his pitch count and stamina before returning.

Mahle hits the shelf, as expected, ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the White Sox. No word yet on exactly how much time the 30-year-old righty figures to miss. His absence opens the door for Kumar Rocker to return to the big leagues and take his rotation spot.

Mahle will not only miss Sunday’s battle against Chicago, but is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list. Kumar Rocker will take Mahle’s place in the rotation, and Mahle will likely not be back until around the All-Star break at the earliest.

Kumar Rocker has met up with the Rangers in Arlington and would be an option to start for the Rangers on Sunday in the event that Mahle is unable to give it a go. The team could also decide to roll with Kumar on Sunday anyways and give Mahle a couple of extra days to allow the soreness to subside. Stay tuned.

The 30-year-old right-hander punched out three batters on the evening while allowing one base on balls. This game was actually a scoreless pitcher’s duel heading into the fourth inning before the offenses perked up. Mahle surrendered two runs in the fourth, one in the fifth and then served up a solo homer to Matt Wallner in the sixth inning. Fortunately for him, the Rangers piled on 10 runs in those three frames to deliver a victory. Mahle generated 11 swings and misses on 91 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll carry a 2.34 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 56/27 K/BB ratio (77 innings) into a premium matchup against the White Sox on Sunday.

Mahle struck out five batters on the evening while issuing a pair of walks. It’s just the second time in 13 starts on the season that Mahle has allowed more than two runs. He had allowed just one — a solo shot by Kameron Misner in the second inning — through his first five frames, but the wheels fell off for him in the sixth as Mahle allowed three straight batters to reach with one out and exited with the bases loaded. Unfortunately for he and for fantasy managers, all three inherited runners ultimately scored. The 30-year-old hurler got 13 whiffs on 85 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he brings a 2.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 53/26 K/BB ratio (71 1/3 innings) into Sunday’s showdown against the Nationals in Washington.

Mahle pitched well enough to win on most nights. However, this Rangers’ offense is stuck in the mud. While their starting pitchers have allowed three runs or fewer in 19 straight games, none have earned a win since May 17. Coincidentally, that last win came from Mahle who’s still having an excellent season. His fastball forced seven swings-and-misses in this one, working mostly high in the zone as his splitter played off it beautifully ducking down low. He now has a 1.64 ERA and is scheduled to face the Rays on the road next time out.

Mahle cruised besides for two solo home runs by Alex Bregmana and Wilyer Abreu in the fourth inning. That being said, Mahle did not have his swing-and-miss stuff working with a shocking zero strikeouts. He forced just four whiffs, which made this his third time in four starts where he forced six or fewer whiffs. While he still has a sterling 1.48 ERA, it feels as if some serious regression is coming soon. It may not come next start though, as he’s scheduled to face the Rockies at home at the front of a two-start week that will end with the Astros coming to town.

The right-hander racked up six strikeouts on the day while allowing only one base on balls. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single off the bat of Miguel Andujar in the opening inning. Unfortunately, the Rangers’ offense couldn’t provide a single run of support for him. Mahle got 10 swings and misses on 90 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 24 percent. Now 3-1 on the season, he’ll carry an impressive 1.19 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and a 32/14 K/BB ratio (37 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Mahle worked around some trouble in each of the first four innings with the help of a pair of double plays. The Giants would finally get to him in the fifth, bringing two runs in to score on two base hits and a double. Mahle scattered eight hits in all, striking out only one batter. The 30-year-old right-hander will take a 1.14 ERA, 0.98 WIHP, and a 26/13 K/BB ratio across 31 2/3 innings into a start against the Athletics in Texas on Thursday.

The game was still scoreless when Mahle departed, so he wasn’t rewarded for his fourth consecutive excellent effort. Mahle got five outs in the first start of the year against Boston, but he’s allowed just one run in 25 innings since. It was mostly about soft contact today, as he wound up with four strikeouts and just six missed swings. He’ll be a decent mixed-league option in his start in San Francisco against the Giants next weekend.

Mahle’s excellent start to the season continued Tuesday with six shutout innings against the Angels. He scattered three hits and two walks, striking out nine batters on an impressive 18 whiffs. The 30-year-old right-hander will take a 0.92 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and a 21/9 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings into a tough matchup against the Dodgers in Texas on Sunday. While his next matchup presents a risky stream, Mahle certainly deserves a pickup where available.
