Tyler Mahle Could Still Return This Year
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) has been out since mid-June with shoulder fatigue, but he recently was able to resume throwing off a mound. He still has been limited to just fastballs, but he could advance to throwing live batting practice in the near future and possibly still work his way back to the majors by the end of the year. In his 77 innings over 14 starts before the injury, Mahle went 6-3 with a 2.34 ERA and 3.39 FIP. If the 30-year-old can return at anywhere close to that level, he could be a valuable spot start or DFS play in the right matchups down the stretch and also give the Rangers' injury-depleted rotation a nice boost. He still has a ways to go, but he's worth monitoring over the next few weeks.
