Tyler Mahle fans seven Mets in dominant win

Player Stats

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.

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

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.

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.

Nationals 1B/3B prospect Yohandy Morales went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

Morales returned from injury earlier this month and continues to hit. The 24-year-old is slashing .291/.370/.530 in 98 games at Triple-A with 24 home runs, 74 RBI, and five steals. Considering the Nationals are giving regular at-bats to Jose Tena and Jorbit Vivas, it might make sense for them to see what Morales can do as a 3B/DH option the rest of the way.

Denzel Clarke (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Clarke was working his way back from a foot injury when he hurt his hamstring in late May. He returned to the field on August 18 and has since gone 6-for-13 with one home run, five RBI, and a 3/4 K/BB ratio. He has not yet attempted a steal, which would be nice to see to verify the health of his hamstring, but there is a chance that Clarke can return to center field for the Athletics by the end of the week, which would push Henry Bolte to a corner outfield spot and may cost Carlos Cortes playing time.

Emmet Sheehan threw six shutout innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, allowing just one hit and striking out nine.

Sheehan threw 68 percent of his pitches for strikes, while posting an 18 percent swinging strike rate and 37 percent CSW. His four-seamer averaged 94.2 mph, and his slider carved batters up all day. There’s no room for him in the Dodgers’ rotation right now, but it’s nice to see him continuing to pitch well.

Luis Gil (shoulder) struck out three batters in 1 2/3 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Gil had been rehabbing from shoulder inflammation but was activated off the IL a week ago and kept in the minors. With Max Fried (elbow) and Ryan Weathers (forearm) now banged up, there’s a chance the Yankees will work to stretch Gil out in Triple-A. He threw 30 pitches in this one, firing 22 of them for strikes and not walking any batters. At worst, he could provide the Yankees with length out of their bullpen soon if they wanted it.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said that Roman Anthony (finger) will join Triple-A Worcester this week.

Anthony began his rehab assignment last week with Double-A Portland, and there was a thought that he would quickly rejoin the Red Sox, but it seems that won’t be the case. The Red Sox will be in Miami at the beginning of the week, but will come back to New York on Friday to play the Yankees. Anthony will be in Worcester at the time, playing against the Yankees Triple-A club, so he could easily meet the team in New York if they think he’s ready.

Reynaldo López (knee) threw four scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

López allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three and throwing 70 percent of his 50 total pitches for strikes. He did struggle to command his curve, and the velocity on it was down quite a bit, but he located his four-seamer well. His velocity on the fastball was down a bit, but he also threw 78 percent four-seamers in this one, so it doesn’t seem like the veteran was really attacking the lineup like he would in an MLB game. It remains to be seen how many more starts the Braves want him to make in the minors.

Griffin Jax (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits in three innings for Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Jax struck out two and walked two while throwing 42 pitches in the outing. He threw 60 percent of his pitches for strikes and posted a 17 percent swinging strike rate and 31 percent CSW. His sinker has 95.1 mph, and his four-seamer was 95.4 mph, so there didn’t seem to be much concern with his velocity. He did struggle to command his changeup and sweeper, so the Rays may opt to give him one more rehab start and try to get him closer to 60 pitches before activating him.

Guardians 1B/OF prospect Ralphy Velazquez went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The 21-year-old has been absurd in August, hitting .379/.447/.1.015 with 14 home runs, 21 runs scored, 26 RBI, one steal, and an 11/8 K/BB ratio. This is after he hit just .203/.299/.419 in July. Velazquez has also been playing a lot more left field to make it easier to slide him into the MLB lineup. That extra time to learn a new position could also be why he has remained in the minors despite swinging a hot bat. Still, there’s a very good chance he could follow a similar path to the big leagues as teammate Chase Delauter, who actually made his MLB debut during last year’s postseason.

Twins OF prospect Walker Jenkins went 3-for-3 with two walks, two home runs, three RBI, and a stolen base for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The Twins’ top prospect has been absolutely on fire in August, hitting .415/.493/.800 with seven home runs, 12 RBI, six steals, and a 12/10 K/BB ratio. He has 11 home runs, 16 steals, and a .931 OPS on the season and certainly looks ready for an MLB audition.

Rays promoted 1B prospect Xavier Isaac to Triple-A

A year ago, Isaac was recovering from life-saving brain surgery. Now he’s one step away from the major leagues. The 22-year-old hit .255/.400/.510 in 99 games at Double-A this year with 24 home runs, 77 runs scored, 71 RBI, and 18 steals. That came with a 119/80 K/BB ratio, but also a 16.8 percent swinging strike rate that will need to be addressed as he moves to the higher levels of the minors.
