Inbox: Is Mahle an option for Reds' rotation?

Do you think Tyler Mahle could get a shot in the Reds' rotation soon, or at least sometime this year?
-- @KB_48

With Rookie Davis getting optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday morning, questions about Mahle have come quickly. This one was actually sent before that roster move, and it's understandable. Mahle, 22, is 5-0 with a 1.44 ERA, 23 hits, nine walks and 48 strikeouts in 43 2/3 innings over seven starts for Double-A Pensacola. The organization's No. 9 prospect as ranked by MLBPipeline.com also threw a perfect game last month and had a no-hitter for Class A Advanced Daytona last season.
