Mistretta graduated college with a degree in broadcast journalism from Biola University.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">MLB</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>After it was revealed on Thursday that SP Tyler Mahle <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-gets-crushing-tyler-mahle-injury-update-tommy-john" rel="noopener">will require Tommy John surgery</a>, OF Max Kepler <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-max-kepler-exits-with-apparent-leg-injury/" rel="noopener">exited</a> the Minnesota Twins’ game versus the San Diego Padres with an apparent leg injury, per CBS Sports. The severity of Kepler’s apparent injury hasn’t been specified yet, but the Twins are certainly hoping for the best.</p><p>Kepler blasted 36 home runs back in 2019 and appeared to be a future star for the Twins. He took a step back in 2020, but most people around the MLB world weren’t concerned since the ’20 campaign only lasted 60 games. Kepler’s struggles continued into 2021 and 2022 though, dealing with injuries and underperformance in both seasons. He was linked to various teams in trade rumors prior to 2023 but nothing came to fruition.</p><p>Through 26 games this season, Kepler is slashing just .223/.312/.468 with a .780 OPS and six home runs. The Twins added outfield depth over the offseason, but they still value Kepler’s left-handed bat in the lineup. A potential long-term absence would negatively impact Minnesota. For now, however, there’s still a chance that Kepler could be fine. We will provide updates on his status as they are made available.</p><p>As for the game itself, the Twins defeated the San Diego Padres 5-3, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bob-melvin-sends-stern-message-to-padres-players-after-dropping-to-the-500-mark" rel="noopener">adding to San Diego’s struggles</a> in recent action. Minnesota has performed well to open the 2023 season, now holding a 21-17 record. That mark is good for first place in the lackluster American League Central. In fact, the Twins are the only AL Central team with a record of above .500 as of this story’s publication.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Joe Ryan is putting together a Cy Young worthy start to the season in the American League, while Sonny Gray and Pablo Lopez have also been solid for the Twins.</p><p>Bailey Ober has also impressed in his short time with the Twins, and figures to slot into the rotation for the foreseeable future to replace Tyler Mahle.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mahle was experiencing a significant down-tick in velocity prior to exiting the game, prompting Twins fans to fear the worst. Fortunately, fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as their trade deadline acquisition has been diagnosed with a fatigued/sore shoulder. <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/1560308123763605504">Via Aaron Gleeman</a> of The Athletic, an MRI on Mahle’s shoulder came back clean and the team is considering him day-to-day going forward.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">MRI on Tyler Mahle's fatigued/sore shoulder came back clean, according to the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MNTwins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MNTwins</a>.</p><p>He remains on the active roster and is considered day-to-day.

He had struck out one batter and walked one across 2.1 innings of work, and had not surrendered a single hit before making way for the bullpen.</p><p>The Twins are not expecting to have to place Mahle on the IL, hoping instead to keep him on the active roster. The team has given no indication as to whether or not he’ll be able to make his next scheduled start. As it stands, Mahle figures to take the mound again on Tuesday, Aug. 23 against the Houston Astros.</p><p>Tyler Mahle has made three starts since joining the Twins at the trade deadline. The former Cincinnati Reds starter has a 2.51 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 14.1 innings during that span. On the year, Mahle has a 4.17 ERA and 1.197 WHIP across 22 starts and has fanned 126 in 118.2 innings.</p><p>The Twins and Mahle appear to have dodged a bullet with this latest update on his shoulder, and hopefully the team is correct in its assumption that he won’t require a stint on the IL.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 27-year-old has allowed just four runs in 12 innings so far with Minnesota while recording 11 strikeouts.</p><p>The Twins cannot afford to lose Mahle for a prolonged period of time. He is a key piece of the team’s rotation along with Sonny Gray and Joe Ryan. Minnesota’s post All-Star break pitching has been terrible, posting a <a href="https://www.mlb.com/stats/team/pitching?split=posas">bottom-10 ERA</a> in MLB despite adding Mahle, All-Star reliever Jorge Lopez and Michael Fulmer. Mahle has allowed three home runs already but otherwise has been very effective.</p><p>The Twins have the talent to be a playoff team but need to get Tyler Mahle back soon. His pitching is extremely valuable and will be needed to keep up with the arms that the Guardians and Chicago White Sox have. Byron Buxton, Luis Arraez, Carlos Correa and the lineup will also have to play their part by putting up runs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
