Strong debut with Atlanta
Mahle did not factor into Friday's decision against the Yankees, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out nine across six scoreless innings.
Analysis
Mahle was acquired by Atlanta from San Francisco on Sunday, and the 31-year-old right-hander was given the nod to start in Friday's series opener. He looked good with his new team, matching a season high in strikeouts while recording his fourth quality start in 19 games this season. Mahle has a 4.83 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 100.2 innings this year, and his next start is lined up for next week at home against the Mets.

Set for team debut Friday
Mahle will make his Atlanta debut with a start Friday against the Yankees in New York.
Analysis
Acquired from the Giants over the weekend, Mahle will slot into the back end of the Atlanta rotation as a replacement for Reynaldo Lopez (knee), who landed on the injured list Sunday. Mahle took advantage of a favorable home park in San Francisco by delivering a 2.65 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over nine starts, but those ratios swelled to a 8.04 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in nine starts away from Oracle Park. The right-hander profiles as a high-risk fantasy option Friday at Yankee Stadium, which is notoriously friendly for left-handed power hitters like Ben Rice, Jazz Chisholm and Luis Garcia.

Dealt to Atlanta
Mahle was traded from the Giants to Atlanta in exchange for minor-league right-handed pitcher Anthony Molina on Sunday night, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Mahle will head to Atlanta after having produced a 5.13 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 89 strikeouts over 94.2 innings in 18 starts with the Giants this season. The right-hander has struggled with his consistency on the mound, posting six starts during which he allowed one or zero runs while also surrendering five or more runs on six occasions. Mahle will likely immediately slot in to Atlanta's starting rotation after Reynaldo Lopez (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Mixed bag in no-decision
Mahle allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus San Diego on Saturday.
Analysis
On the plus side, Mahle induced 13 whiffs and struck out a season-high nine batters. However, the five earned runs were the most he's allowed across his past eight starts. Mahle didn't give up a ton of traffic, but five of the eight batters who reached against him came around to score. The right-hander pitched pretty well in July with a 2.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 22.1 innings spanning four starts, so this was a small step back for him. Mahle will look to get back on track the next time he takes the mound, which is projected to be at home against Detroit.
