Tyler Mahle, a crucial part of the Texas Rangers' rotation, is set to resume throwing after being sidelined due to a rotator cuff strain. Manager Bruce Bochy announced that Mahle will start throwing next week, marking a significant step towards his return. Though he hasn't pitched since June 10, his initial performance this season was stellar, boasting a 2.34 ERA in 14 starts. Other injured players, including Jon Gray, Joc Pederson, and Josh Sborz, are also on the mend, with Gray recently completing a rehab outing.

Jon Gray, who has been recovering from a fractured wrist, threw two innings in his first minor league rehab start without incident. He is expected to pitch three innings in his next outing. Joc Pederson remains a couple of weeks from batting practice after fracturing his hand in late May. Meanwhile, the team is still deliberating on the next steps for Josh Sborz, who is yet to make his season debut following shoulder surgery. The Rangers are eager to reintegrate these key players as they push for a productive second half.
