Player Stats

Tyler Mahle pitched six scoreless innings while striking out nine, earning a no-decision in Friday’s 3-2 loss to the Yankees.

Making his Braves debut on Friday, Mahle went toe-to-toe with Yankees starter Max Fried, striking out a season-high nine batters while tossing six scoreless frames. This is the second time in as many starts that Mahle has struck out nine batters, only this time he didn’t allow five earned runs as we saw in his previous outing. Mahle was acquired from the Giants at this year’s trade deadline and has had an up-and-down year thus far. This outing was far better than we could have expected in a road start against the Yankees. We’ll see if Mahle can have similar success in his next start, which is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Mets.

Tyler Mahle pitched five innings of one-run ball Sunday to pick up a win versus the Brewers.

He struck out four. It’s Mahle’s shortest outing in four starts for the Braves, but he lowered his ERA for his new club to 1.52. He’ll be a great play at home against the Rockies next weekend.

Tyler Mahle allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Twins on Tuesday.

Mahle gave up six hits, walked one and struck out three. He fell to 4-10 with the loss. Mahle pitched well. He allowed only two runs and worked into the seventh inning. It wasn’t his fault the Braves offense only scored one run. Mahle has allowed three runs in 18 2/3 innings (1.48 ERA) over his last three starts. He’s lined up to face the Dodgers at home next week.

ATL Starting Pitcher #54

Tyle Mahle fired six one-run innings with seven strikeouts and zero walks to earn his first win as a Brave in a 6-3 win over the Mets.

Mahle looks reborn in his two starts since the trade deadline. His fastball and splitter played off each other beautifully here forcing a combined 13 swings-and-misses as he showed pinpoint command of each. He kept the ball away from the Mets’ righties so well and barely threw any pitches in the heart of the plate. Again, his command was simply masterful. This was also the first time he’s completed six innings in consecutive outings all season and he has 16 strikeouts, zero walks, and just one earned run through 12 innings as a Brave. He’s lined up for a two-start week against the Twins and Brewers coming up.

Braves acquired RHP Tyler Mahle from the Giants for RHP Anthony Molina.

The Braves are really just taking on salary here, which in Mahle’s case is about $3 million, and they’re getting guy who has usually been pretty solid when healthy. Mahle has a 5.13 ERA this year, but he’s been better than that lately, posting a 3.79 ERA in his last seven starts. He’s actually throwing a little harder and has a higher strikeout rate (22 percent) than he did last year, when he had a 2.18 ERA in 16 starts for the Rangers. He’ll go into the injured Reynaldo López’s rotation spot for now. He’s still probably just an NL-only guy for fantasy purposes.

SF Starting Pitcher #54

The Braves are acquiring Tyler Mahle from the Giants in exchange for reliever Anthony Molina, according to FanSided’s Robert Murray.

Mahle, who is on a one-year, $10 million deal, is 3-9 with a 5.13 ERA for the season, but he has been solid of late, amassing a 3.79 ERA in his last seven turns. Molina is a fringe 40-man roster guy, so this is mostly a salary dump for the Giants. The Giants still figure to trade Robbie Ray, too, and they just lost Trevor McDonald for the rest of the season, so things could get ugly with their rotation the rest of the way. Most likely, Adrian Houser will slide back in as a starter, assuming that no other team wants to take on his contract.

Tyler Mahle struck out nine but allowed five runs in five innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Mahle gave up two runs in the first, two more in the fourth, and another in the sixth without recording an out. The strikeouts are nice. Everything else here isn’t what you’re looking for, and it’s disappointing after his strong six innings of shutout baseball in his previous outing. Assuming he’s still a part of the Giants, he’ll have a chance to rebound against the Tigers on Friday.

SF Starting Pitcher #54

Tyler Mahle allowed three hits over six innings in the Giants’ 3-0 shutout of the Brewers on Monday.

That has to be good for a little bump in trade value. Mahle struck out three and walked two in improving to 3-9 with a 4.96 ERA on the season. He’s due to face the Padres on Saturday, but that outing should be considered very tentative with the trade deadline coming two days later. Mahle won’t be any contender’s top target, but he might be able to help a club get to October, even if he won’t be much use then.
Tyler Mahle

SF Starting Pitcher #54

Tyler Mahle allowed three runs on five hits in five innings in a loss to the Royals on Tuesday.

Mahle struck out four and walked one in the outing while throwing 65 percent of his pitches for strikes and posting a 10 percent swinging strike rate. He didn’t allow much hard contact, but he also didn’t miss many bats. The good news is that his four-seam fastball was up almost one mph from his season average and actually was fastest in the fifth inning, averaging 93.4 mph. That still doesn’t mean we’d start him next week against the Brewers.

SF Starting Pitcher #54

Tyler Mahle allowed one run and struck out four batters over seven innings in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Mahle tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up a run in the second on a triple and a balk. He’d settle in to give the Giants seven frames of one-run ball, scattering five hits and three walks while striking out four batters. The 31-year-old right-hander holds a 5.35 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and a 71/32 K/BB ratio at the All-Star break.
Tyler Mahle

SF Starting Pitcher #54

Tyler Mahle went 4 1/3 innings while allowing three runs and not picking up a decision against the Rockies on Sunday.

This makes back-to-back outings where Mahle was only able to complete 4 1/3 innings, which is less than ideal. The right-hander allowed eight hits, and he struck out five while not issuing a walk. Mahle has been extremely inconsistent in 2026 — despite back-to-back similar starts — and his ERA of 5.70 helps tell the story of the clunkers. He’ll try and get back on the right track with a rematch against the Rockies scheduled for Friday; this time in friendlier confines at home.

Carson Whisenhunt will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after leaving his start Monday against the Reds with elbow pain.

Whisenhunt said this felt different than the elbow sprain that cost him the final two months of 2023, and he’s hoping it might just be a pinched nerve. "[I’ve] never really felt anything like this,” he said after the game. “I don’t really know kind of where to be at with it. So just kind of play it by ear and get the MRI tomorrow and then go from there.” The Giants could recall Matt Wilkinson if Whisenhunt goes on the IL.

Nick Gonzales went 2-for-5 and singled in the automatic runner in the top of the 12th as the Pirates outlasted the Padres 3-2 on Monday.

Gonzales’s hit resulted in only run in the three extra innings. There were three bunts, though, none of which worked out. The first two, from the Padres, were both popped up and the initial one resulted in a double play. The last, from the Pirates after Gonzales’s go-ahead hit, saw the lead runner get retired. Gonzales also walked and stole a base in the contest. He’s fourth in the majors with his .308 average.

Braxton Ashcraft limited the Padres to one run over six innings in a no-decision Monday.

Ashcraft appeared to get through six scoreless, only to lose the shutout on a balk. He then left with a one-run lead that failed to hold up. It’s unclear how many more starts Ashcraft, who has now thrown 39 more innings than his previous career high, will make with the Pirates nearly out of contention at this point, but he’s still thriving, having allowed exactly one run in three straight starts. He’s in line to face the Cardinals on Sunday, but the Pirates have Thursday and Monday off if they want to give him some extra time.

Yohan Ramírez struck out the side in the 12th for his second save Monday against the Padres.

Ramírez had given up five runs in three innings since returning from the paternity list, but he came up big tonight in protecting a one-run lead. He did get a little lucky with the last pitch, though; Dustin Harris swung at a sweeper down and in and then had it go off his foot and to the backstop. If it didn’t hit him, he likely would have reached on a strikeout/wild pitch.

Robbie Ray allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings Monday versus the Pirates.

Both runs came in the sixth. Esmerlyn Valdez led off the inning with a homer. Ray then walked Bryan Reynolds and struck out Oneil Cruz before being pulled in favor of Bradgley Rodriguez, who surrendered a go-ahead double to score the inherited runner. Ray struck out five and allowed just two hard-hit balls other than the homer. He’ll likely face the Rays on Sunday.

Brandon Lowe went 0-for-5 and struck out four times against the Padres on Monday.

As terrific as Lowe has been against righties, the Pirates still probably would have been better off platooning him all year. He was retired four times by lefties tonight, leaving him with a .208 average, a .329 slugging percentage and a 64/11 K/BB in 173 plate appearances versus southpaws on the season.

Kaelen Culpepper went 4-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI against the Athletics on Monday.

Culpepper didn’t have any extra-base hits, but the four singles raised his average to .340 in the first 50 at-bats of his big league career. He offers enough upside to be considered in mixed leagues, though he’s not necessarily a must-add player.

Jeffrey Springs allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Twins on Monday.

Springs gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out three. He fell to 3-12 with the loss. Springs pitched slightly better in his last start, but overall he hasn’t looked particularly sharp in either of his two starts since returning from the injured list. He has a 6.08 ERA. Springs isn’t a recommended fantasy option in his next starts against the Orioles at home on Sunday.
