Making another rehab start Mahle (shoulder) will make another rehab start Friday, Abby Jones of DLLS Sports reports.
Impact The Rangers had mulled the possibility of activating Mahle from the 60-day injured list this weekend to make an appearance against the Mets, but they've ultimately decided to give him another rehab outing to continue getting stretched out. Mahle struck out three over 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, throwing 47 pitches. He's been out since mid-June with a right shoulder strain.

Could be activated this weekend Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Mahle (shoulder) "could possibly start with us this weekend" against the Mets, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Out since mid-June with a right shoulder strain, Mahle was roughed up in his first rehab outing but was better the last time out, striking out three over 2.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock. He is not fully stretched out -- having thrown just 47 pitches in his last rehab start -- but could be used in tandem with Jacob Latz. Mahle managed a 2.34 ERA over 14 starts covering 77 innings before getting hurt, but a pedestrian 56:27 K:BB suggests he's benefitted from some batted-ball luck.

Sharper in second rehab start Mahle (shoulder) struck out three batters and allowed two hits and one walk over 2.1 scoreless innings in a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Round Rock.
Impact After recording just three outs and getting rocked for five earned runs in his first rehab outing with Round Rock on Tuesday, Mahle returned to the hill five days later and fared much better. He pumped in 33 of his 47 pitches for strikes in the efficient performance, though his average fastball velocity of 90.2 miles per hour was about two ticks behind his season-long average prior to landing on the shelf June 15 due to right shoulder fatigue. Though Mahle isn't yet built up enough to handle a traditional starting role, the Rangers could have him return from the 60-day injured list later this week to work as a multi-inning reliever or to be used in tandem with Jacob Latz, who recently transitioned to the rotation after spending most of the season pitching in the bullpen.

Felt fine following rehab outing Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Mahle (shoulder) "felt fine" after Tuesday's rehab outing, MLB.com reports.
Impact Mahle was knocked around for five runs on five hits and a walk and reached his pitch limit before retiring a batter in the second inning. The Rangers had hoped Mahle could rejoin the pitching staff following the outing, but the manager is awaiting additional information before making any further determination or next steps for the right-hander.

Done after three outs Mahle (shoulder) allowed five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one over one-plus innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
Impact Mahle reached his pitch count before getting anyone out in the second inning after throwing 36 pitches (23 strikes) in an outing that was planned to go two full innings. He retired the first two batters faced before allowing three consecutive hits and two runs in the first inning. The right-hander came back out for the second inning and gave up a three-run home run. The Rangers had hoped Mahle could rejoin the pitching staff after one rehab outing, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, but the team's decision-makers may want to reconsider the pitcher's next step.

Rehab outing coming Tuesday Mahle (shoulder) is expected to make a two-inning rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Mahle has been on the shelf since June 15 due to a right shoulder strain and has slowly been building back up, but he'll take a major step forward in the recovery process by kicking off a rehab assignment Tuesday. At this stage of the season, Mahle may not have enough time to get fully stretched out for a traditional starting role, though he appears on track to pitch for the Rangers in some capacity later on in September.

Rehab outing coming Tuesday Mahle (shoulder) is expected to pitch two innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Mahle was shelved with shoulder soreness in June and has slowly worked his way back. There may not be enough time or opportunity for the right-hander to build up as a starter before the end of the regular season, but Mahle could operate as a multi-inning pitcher that can be used in piggyback situations.
