Tyler Mahle Injury: Rehab outing coming Tuesday

Mahle (shoulder) is expected to make a two-inning rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Mahle has been on the shelf since June 15 due to a right shoulder strain and has slowly been building back up, but he'll take a major step forward in the recovery process by kicking off a rehab assignment Tuesday. At this stage of the season, Mahle may not have enough time to get fully stretched out for a traditional starting role, though he appears on track to pitch for the Rangers in some capacity later on in September.
