Tyler Mahle returns to the mound for a rehab encore in Albuquerque, aiming for 50 pitches across roughly three innings. After shoulder fatigue sidelined him, the Rangers will monitor his velocity and control as he pushes toward a regular role again.

In the interim, Texas leans on Nathan Eovaldi’s health and Jacob Latz’s arm, while youngsters like Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter provide a lift as injuries thin the lineup. A Monday visit from Milwaukee looms, making Mahle’s progress critical for fantasy and season-long planning.
