GM Zack Minasian said that Luis Matos and Jesus Rodriguez, who were playing in the Venezuelan Winter League, are doing fine.
José Buttó, who is also Venezuelan, is currently in Florida.
Mahle said he's currently working on bringing back a curve/slurve that he's thrown in the past. He said he'll probably throw it mostly to righties.
He recalled when he tried to throwing the pitch to Brandon Belt, and Belt "hit it about 500 feet."
(FWIW, it only went 354 feet)
During a Zoom with reporters, Tyler Mahle said this is the best he's felt since '21 when he made 33 starts.
Mahle said he made mechanical changes last offseason that have helped. He added that he got injured in '25 because he tried to make a mechanical change on his own.

Minasian said the fifth spot in the rotation could be filled internally or externally.
He added that the Giants will continue to look externally for another starter, but doesn't necessarily think the Giants need to add someone from outside the org.
GM Zack Minasian said the Giants had a pretty thorough medical review before signing Jason Foley.
Minasian didn't want to pinpoint a specific time he'll be back, but said "our medical people felt like a target of midseason was very reasonable."
The Giants announce that they’ve DFA’d OF Joey Wiemer to make room on the 40-man roster for Jason Foley.
Wiemer was acquired from the Miami Marlins earlier this offseason for cash considerations.
The Giants added to their pitching staff by signing Adrian Houser for the rotation and Jason Foley for the bullpen.
