Tyler Mahle expected to have normal spring
Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle is expected to be ready for spring training after elbow and shoulder issues in 2024.
Fantasy Impact
Mahle returned from Tommy John surgery with the Rangers in 2024 but made just three starts before right shoulder stiffness ended his season. The owner of a career 4.32 ERA, Mahle could be a decent bounce-back candidate if his health holds up in 2025 considering he posted a K-BB% north of 19% twice before injuries largely took over in recent seasons.
