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.
The newly minted Ranger Sports Network will be going on a shakedown cruise today, with their first broadcast being an exhibition against Cincinnati available locally on CW33.
Spring is the season of rosy optimism and championship dreams, however unrealistic, but PECOTA has the Rangers favored to win the AL.
