Mahle is listed as the Reds' probable starter for Saturday's game against the Pirates, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Mahle acquitted himself well in his MLB debut last weekend in limiting the Pirates to three runs on four hits and four walks over five frames, he'll get another crack at Pittsburgh, this time on the road. Since the 22-year-old has already accrued 149.1 innings this season between three levels, the Reds could look to shut him down at some point in September, but manager Bryan Price hasn't relayed that the rookie is on strict innings cap. Asher Wojciechowski was moved to the bullpen to accommodate Mahle's entry into the rotation.
