Tyler Mahle Fantasy Stats

Right-hander Tyler Mahle went 3-9 with a 5.13 ERA (4.37 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 89 strikeouts and 37 walks in 94 2/3 innings and 18 starts to begin the 2026 season with the San Francisco Giants before the Atlanta Braves acquired him in a trade at midseason. Since the move to the first-place Braves, the 31-year-old veteran has looked like a different pitcher, going 2-1 with a 1.48 ERA (2.87 FIP) and 0.96 WHIP with 32 strikeouts and only five walks in 30 1/3 frames over five starts. Mahle has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his five starts so far for Atlanta, and he gave up only one earned run with no walks and a season-high nine strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings in his last outing on Sunday, Aug. 30, against the Colorado Rockies. He will have a pretty big test his next time out this weekend against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. In two starts already this year against the Phils, Mahle allowed five earned runs on nine hits while walking seven and striking out nine in 10 2/3 innings. Mahle will be a riskier fantasy streamer in that matchup, but regardless, he deserves more waiver-wire attention down the stretch. Mahle is currently rostered in just over half of Yahoo leagues.

Since being acquired by the Atlanta Braves from the San Francisco Giants at the trade deadline, veteran right-hander Tyler Mahle has gotten hot on the mound. Across 18 2/3 innings (three starts) for the Braves, Mahle has allowed just three earned runs while recording 19 strikeouts. The 31-year-old's overall line for the season isn't great, as he's recorded a 4-10 record with a 4.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 108 strikeouts across 113 1/3 innings (21 starts). However, Mahle is now in a much better position to rack up wins following the move to Atlanta, and pitching for a contender may have been the jolt he needed to revitalize his 2026 campaign. Mahle had an extended stretch of high-end production as recently as 2025, when he pitched to a 2.18 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 86 2/3 innings (16 starts) with the Texas Rangers. As a matchup-dependent streamer, fantasy managers should consider Mahle on the waiver wire.

The Atlanta Braves acquired right-hander Tyler Mahle from the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in exchange for pitcher Anthony Molina, sources familiar with the deal told Robert Murray of FanSided. Mahle will move to the National League East after going a disappointing 3-9 with a 5.13 ERA (4.38 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 89 strikeouts and 37 walks in 94 2/3 innings across 18 starts in 2026 in his first year with San Francisco. He will bring a veteran presence to Atlanta's starting rotation and will immediately help replace right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (knee), who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. Mahle has been extremely hit or miss for fantasy managers in deeper leagues this year, and although he struck out a season-high nine batters on Saturday in San Diego against the division-rival Padres, he also allowed five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings for a no-decision. In four starts (22 1/3 frames) in July, Mahle was decent with a 2.82 ERA, six walks, and 16 strikeouts. Fantasy managers in most mixed leagues can continue to ignore him, but his value should increase with the move to the first-place Braves. Mahle is rostered in only 6% of Yahoo leagues.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tyler Mahle (illness) is a bit behind the other pitchers in camp because he got sick, but he's expected to face hitters next week, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. Mahle should be ready to roll for Opening Day in late March in his first year with the Gigantes after signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the team in December. The 31-year-old veteran had a career-best 2.18 ERA (3.37 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 66 strikeouts and 29 walks with the Texas Rangers last year, but he was limited to 86 2/3 innings and 16 starts after missing almost three months with a shoulder injury. In 2023 and 2024 combined, Mahle made just eight starts for the Twins and Rangers, so durability is a big concern for the veteran hurler. Fantasy managers can't count on Mahle being reliable, which is why he's outside RotoBaller's top-100 starting pitcher rankings. Under the hood last year, Mahle had a weak 19.1% strikeout rate and didn't miss many bats (23.2% whiff rate).

Free-agent right-hander Tyler Mahle agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Mahle will head to the National League West and an excellent pitcher's ballpark after spending the last two years with the Texas Rangers. The 31-year-old veteran only made 16 starts for the Rangers last year due to shoulder injuries, but when he was on the mound, he was great. Mahle went 6-4 with a career-best 2.18 ERA (3.37 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 66 strikeouts and 29 walks in 86 2/3 innings pitched. He had Tommy John surgery in 2023 and has had a strikeout rate under 20% in each of the last two years. That, along with his recent injury history, will limit Mahle's fantasy appeal. However, despite not missing many bats, Mahle could be a decent back-of-the-rotation arm for fantasy managers if he stays healthy in San Fran.

Texas Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle (shoulder) will come off the 60-day injured list to start on Friday against the Miami Marlins, according to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. Mahle, who last pitched for the Rangers on June 10, has missed over three months with shoulder fatigue. The Rangers are convinced that the 30-year-old is ready to return after he looked sharp in his final rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Sept. 12. Mahle tossed four scoreless innings in that game, and while he only threw 52 pitches, manager Bruce Bochy believes he'll be good for 75 or more against the Marlins. Across 14 starts and 77 innings this season, Mahle has gone 6-3 with a 2.34 ERA (4.35 xERA), a 1.13 WHIP, 56 strikeouts, and 27 walks.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) is working his way back from an extended layoff but still hopes to return to the majors this season. The veteran righty is lined up to work two innings for the Triple-A Round Rock Express on Tuesday, which lines up nicely with Nathan Eovaldi's open spot in the rotation. Manager Bruce Bochy said that if things go well, there is a possibility that Mahle could be activated for the team's September 8 matchup against the Brewers the next time this spot in the rotation comes up. Obviously, after missing almost three months, Mahle would be on a pitch limit, but he could be the opener for a bullpen game soon. Mahle was very effective, going 6-3 with a 2.34 ERA and 3.40 FIP before being shut down with a right rotator cuff strain. The Rangers are just 1.5 games back in the AL Wild Card race, so getting Mahle back down the stretch could be huge as they try to push to the postseason.

Texas Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle (shoulder) faced hitters on Thursday and will make a rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Sept. 2, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports. While the plan is for Mahle to throw two innings in that game, the Rangers could ramp up his rehab process if he pitches well. Shoulder troubles have kept Mahle out of action since June 10, and with the season nearing an end, he may only have enough time to come back in a multi-inning role. Before he went on the IL, the 30-year-old made 14 starts and threw 77 innings - his most since 2022. Mahle has gone 6-3 with a 2.34 ERA (4.31 xERA), a 1.13 WHIP, and 56:27 K:BB this season.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) has been out since mid-June with shoulder fatigue, but he recently was able to resume throwing off a mound. He still has been limited to just fastballs, but he could advance to throwing live batting practice in the near future and possibly still work his way back to the majors by the end of the year. In his 77 innings over 14 starts before the injury, Mahle went 6-3 with a 2.34 ERA and 3.39 FIP. If the 30-year-old can return at anywhere close to that level, he could be a valuable spot start or DFS play in the right matchups down the stretch and also give the Rangers' injury-depleted rotation a nice boost. He still has a ways to go, but he's worth monitoring over the next few weeks.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) played catch for the first time on Friday, a small but positive step in the right direction as he works his way back from a strained rotator cuff. The veteran righty is not eligible to return until mid-August, but with the Rangers just 3.5 games behind in the Wild Card race, they'll welcome him back with open arms. The 30-year-old was in the midst of a career year before he succumbed to injury yet again, going 6-3 while posting a 2.34 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. The low strikeout totals (6.55 K/9) are a bummer for fantasy, but he's only rostered in 48 percent of Yahoo! leagues and can contribute in three categories, so he could still help fantasy managers get to the playoffs.
