Little other information is available at this time, but given Mahle’s long history of injuries, Mahle having forearm soreness sends up a lot of red flags. The veteran was already seeing his velocity dip early in spring training and didn’t look much like the pitcher who captivated us a few years ago. If Mahle were to miss time, it’s possible that would open up a spot for Jack Leiter in the Rangers’ rotation. Leiter should be a priority pick at the end of drafts right now.
