Availability
Tyler Mahle has agreed to a one-year deal to join the San Francisco Giants' rotation in 2026. The physical has been completed and the deal is done according to Mark Feinsand.
Fantasy Impact
Mahle is coming off of an injury-plagued 2025 season with the Rangers, but pitched quite well when he was healthy. He pitched to a 1.64 ERA over the first two months of the season and finished the year with a 2.18 ERA in 16 starts (86.2 innings). Mahle was a 13-game winner for the Reds in 2021 and struck out 210 batters in 180 innings that season. His strikeout rate has been on a steady decline since 2020, but his career percentage of 24.1% over his nine seasons is still well above league average. Mahle is expected to fill out a back-of-the-rotation spot for the Giants.

Fantasy Impact
After today’s performance, Mahle holds a 2.18 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 6-4 record across 16 starts this season. It was another season plagued by injury. The veteran pitcher hasn't pitched 100 innings since 2022, and has only pitched more than 130 innings once, in 2021, when he had 210 strikeouts. He's only 30 years old and has shown he can still get impressive results, but it will be hard to trust him in fantasy drafts next winter.
