Morning, all!
Tyler Mahle managed 3 starts in 2024 after returning from Tommy John surgery before getting shut down for shoulder soreness and has now put in 3 spring training starts before getting scratched for forearm soreness.
The Ranger front office hastened to reassure us that Mahle is fine and could still be ready for Opening Day provided that no one uses strong language in the vicinity of his elbow, looks directly at it, or makes any sudden movements.
Evan Grant’s notes column observes that Jack Leiter’s innings spanned a broad array of quality and bullpen candidates Emiliano Teodo and Marc Church are throwing hard and throwing well.
