Falls to Minnesota Mahle (6-4) took the loss Thursday against the Twins, allowing one run on five hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out four.

Impact While Byron Buxton's leadoff homer in the first inning proved to be the lone blemish against Mahle, the Rangers failed to provide any support offensively in an eventual 4-0 defeat. Regardless, it was an encouraging showing from Mahle in what will likely be his final outing of the season. In two starts following a three-month absence due to a shoulder strain, the right-hander's allowed just one run on nine hits while striking out 11 over 9.2 innings. Across 16 starts (86.2 innings) this year, Mahle's posted an impressive 2.18 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 66:29 K:BB.

Marlins beat slumping Rangers 6-4 in 12 innings for fourth straight win

Jakob Marsee and Brian Navaretto hit RBI doubles in a three-run 12th inning that lifted the Miami Marlins to their fourth straight win, 6-4 over the Texas Rangers

SEPTEMBER 20 • Associated Press

Fans six in return Mahle pitched 4.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts and took a no-decision in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He allowed four runs and one walk.

Impact The Texas right-hander returned from a shoulder injury that had kept him out since mid-June. Mahle showed up with his swing-and-miss stuff, as he generated an impressive 12 whiffs out of his 68 total pitches to notch six or more Ks for the third time this season. Overall, the free-agent-to-be has produced a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 62:28 K:BB in 81.2 innings across 15 appearances. Mahle currently projects to make his next start against one of his former clubs, the Twins, at home next week.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Activated ahead of start The Rangers reinstated Mahle (shoulder) from the injured list ahead of his start against Miami on Friday.

Impact A shoulder strain has kept Mahle off a big-league mound since mid-June, though he's made three rehab appearances in the minors this month, coughing up five earned runs with a 10:2 K:BB across 7.1 innings. He threw just 52 pitches during his most recent appearance, so the Rangers may aim to limit his workload Friday against a Marlins offense that's posted a .712 OPS since Sept. 1. Carl Edwards was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Drawing start Friday Mahle (shoulder) will start Friday's game against the Marlins, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact It will be his first outing in the majors since early June, as the right-hander has been shelved for more than three months with a right shoulder strain. Mahle made three rehab starts, going four shutout innings with six strikeouts in his last outing with Triple-A Round Rock. The righty threw only 52 pitches in that start, so he will have a limited workload Friday.

Next outing in majors Mahle (shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance with the Rangers during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.

Impact Mahle is ready to make his first appearance for the Rangers since June 10 after completing a three-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. During his most recent outing Friday, Mahle struck out six and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings while tossing 52 pitches. Since he's not yet stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, Mahle could temporarily work as a bulk reliever, or perhaps get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with current No. 5 starter Jacob Latz.

Next outing in majors Mahle (shoulder) will make his next appearance in the majors, MLB.com reports.

Impact After Mahle pitched four scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, his next time on the mound will come in a Texas uniform. Whether he rejoins the rotation or pitches in a piggyback situation is to be determined.

Excels in Friday's rehab start Mahle (shoulder) struck out six and allowed one hit and no walks over four shutout innings in his rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact The Rangers had contemplated bringing Mahle back from the 60-day injured list for this weekend's series with the Mets, but he instead remained on assignment with Round Rock to continue getting stretched out as he works his way back from the right shoulder strain that has kept him on the shelf since June 15. The veteran right-hander looked about as sharp as the Rangers could have hoped during his third rehab start Friday, showing improved stuff and command from his prior two outings while firing 31 of his 52 pitches for strikes and generating seven whiffs. He'll likely return from the IL next week, but because he's not yet ready to handle a typical starter's workload, Mahle could temporarily work as a bulk reliever, or perhaps as part of a piggyback arrangement with current No. 5 starter Jacob Latz.
