Tyler Mahle

Tyler Mahle will start Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Mahle recorded a 1.99 ERA across 54 1/3 innings over nine starts after being traded to Atlanta. This will be his first career postseason start.

Tyler Mahles gave up five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Mahle had not given up more than two runs in any previous start for the Braves going into Thursday's matchup against his original MLB team. It was almost as if the Reds had a great scouting report for the veteran righty. Mahle hung in there and battled, giving the Braves five full frames. He simply lacked the sharp command displayed over the past couple of months, leaving too many pitches up in the zone for the Reds to smash. Mahle wraps up the regular season with a 3.99 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 22.3 K% over 27 starts. He's expected to be the Braves' No. 2 SP behind ace Chris Sale during the playoffs.

Tyler Mahle gave up one run on just three hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in Friday's 6-2 win against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Mahle has been nothing short of ace-like for the Braves since joining Atlanta at the trade deadline. Over eight starts with the Braves, the veteran righty has allowed two or fewer runs each time out while averaging just over six innings. Mahle has posted a 0.89 OPS with 44 strikeouts and only seven walks across 49 1/3 innings during that stretch.

Tyler Mahle allowed just one run on six hits and no walks while striking out three across seven innings in Saturday's 12-2 win over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Mahle surrendered a solo homer in the first frame Saturday evening, but he locked in and completely stifled the Philly bats from that point forward. The veteran righty has been stellar in seven starts since joining the Braves at the trade deadline, turning in a 1.25 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 38-6 K/BB ratio across 43 1/3 innings. He should return to the mound Friday in Houston.

Tyler Mahle allowed two runs (zero earned) on just four hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings in Sunday's 5-4 win against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Mahle fell behind early in this one, as an error allowed the Phillies to bring home two runs in the first inning. Mahle settled right back in after that, rolling off five scoreless frames. The veteran righty has proven to be a sensational trade-deadline acquisition for the Braves, turning in a microscopic 1.24 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through six starts since. He'll square off with the Phillies again next weekend in Atlanta.
