The Texas Rangers placed Tyler Mahle on the list of wounded 15 days on Sunday and recalled his right comrade Kumar Rocker of Triple-A Round Rock.
Rocker (1-4, 8.87 ERA) will start the Rangers match against the White Sox in Chicago Sunday afternoon in Arlington, Texas. He never faced the White Sox in two major league seasons.
Sunday, initially, was planned as an enclosure game to offer an additional day of leave to Mahle. Texas manager Bruce Bochy confirmed on Saturday that Mahle was dealing with the fatigue of the right shoulder, and it was a problem in her last start against the Minnesota twins on Tuesday.
Mahle, 30, has a 6-3 file with an MPM of 2.34 in 14 departures this season.
He spent parts of nine seasons in the majors – the first 5 1/2 for the Reds of Cincinnati before being exchanged to the twins on the deadline in 2022. He had a better career season in 2021 when he went 13-6 with an MPM of 3.75 in 33 departures for the Reds.
