One of the mantras of the Texas Rangers’ 2024 season has been to be patient, hold steady, reinforcements are coming.
Tonight marks the 2024 major league debut of one of the most significant reinforcements that has been expected, righthanded starting pitcher Tyler Mahle. With all the guys who have landed on the i.l. for significant stints this year, and who we have eagerly awaited the return of, Mahle almost seemed to be an afterthought, even though he was one of the O.G. “he’s going to be a great mid-season addition when he gets off the injured list” players for this team.
