Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mahle will be out until at least August after undergoing a setback in his recovery from shoulder issues, Texas Rangers president Chris Young announced today, per the beats. Mahle has a right rotator cuff strain that has the team shutting him down from throwing for the time being.
The Rangers signed Mahle after the 2023 season to a two year deal, knowing that he would miss the bulk of 2024 recovering from Tommy John surgery. Mahle made three starts in the majors for the Rangers last season before being sidelined with a shoulder issue that kept him out the remainder of the year.
