The Minnesota Twins have put Tyler Mahle back on the 15-day injured list as the right-hander continues to deal with right shoulder inflammation.
Mahle returned from the injured list on Saturday night but lasted just two innings in a 13-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox. He also experienced a drop in velocity with his four-seam fastball clocking in 91 mph — 2.2 mph below his season average according to Statcast.
It is the third stint on the injured list this season for Mahle, who was previously placed on the list on July 2 with Cincinnati and Aug. 20 with Minnesota.
Mahle has made four starts for the Twins since being acquired in exchange for four prospects from the Cincinnati Reds, going 1-1 with a 4.41 ERA.
To replace him on the roster, the Twins called up Jovani Moran for the fifth time this season. In 21 appearances, Moran has gone 0-1 with a 2.05 ERA in 26.1 innings.
