Neftali Feliz's (elbow) next rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock will come Sunday.

Feliz will stretch it out to 75-80 pitches. He threw three shutout innings Tuesday in his third rehab start and has now allowed five runs -- one earned -- over 6 2/3 innings overall while striking out eight. He'll probably need one additional outing after Sunday before rejoining the Rangers.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) will make his next minor league rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Round Rock.

Feliz is slated to throw three to four innings or 60 pitches. He allowed four runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks over 1 2/3 innings in his first start at the Triple-A level on Friday. The Rangers could really use the help in their rotation right now, but they aren't going to rush Feliz back.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) allowed an unearned run over two innings Monday in his first rehab start with Double-A Frisco.

Feliz allowed one run and two walks while striking out four. He topped out at 96 mph on his fastball and threw 25 out of 40 pitches for strikes. The Rangers plan to stretch him out as a starter in order to build arm strength, so he'll throw three innings in his next rehab outing Friday with Triple-A Round Rock. However, it's possible he'll eventually return to the majors in a relief role.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) had his first rehab appearance at Triple-A rained out Sunday.

Feliz was slated to throw two innings. That outing will likely just be pushed back a game. While he is expected to be stretched out as a starter, it's possible he'll rejoin the Rangers as a reliever. The 24-year-old right-hander has been sidelined for nearly two months with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) is expected to begin his rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Round Rock.

Feliz is working his way back from a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is scheduled to pitch two innings Sunday and Wednesday (July 18). Given that he'll be stretched out as a starter, we wouldn't expect him to return until late July, at the earliest.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) will be stretched out as a starter during his rehab assignment.

It doesn't necessarily mean he'll rejoin the Rangers in the same capacity, but he'll have his stamina built back up just in case. Feliz will throw a third bullpen session Saturday before the Rangers determine when he'll begin a rehab assignment. Given that he'll be stretched out as a starter, a return in late July would likely be a best-case scenario.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) is scheduled to throw off a mound Tuesday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list.

Feliz has been sidelined since May 21 with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The Rangers are optimistic that he'll be able to return this season, though it would likely be in a relief capacity.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) expects to throw off of a mound when the Rangers travel to Chicago next week.

This comes as a bit of a surprise after Rangers skipper Ron Washington noted Friday that he didn't believe Feliz was close to mound work. The right-hander resumed playing catch late last week, and is slowly progressing in his recovery from an injured elbow. He could be back around late July.

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Friday that Neftali Feliz (elbow) is not close to throwing from a mound.

Feliz started playing catch last week and is currently stretched out to 120-160 feet, but it's not clear when he'll be ready to throw from a mound. For what it's worth, he's considered to be behind Koji Uehara (lat) and Alexi Ogando (groin), who are both expected to throw from a mound in the next week. His absence figures to stretch well into the second half at this point.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) played catch Monday with Rangers bullpen coach Andy Hawkins.

It was his first time throwing since May 18. Feliz is currently working his way back from a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, so the Rangers will obviously handle him with care.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) is scheduled to begin his throwing program Monday.

Feliz is on the 60-day disabled list and won't be eligible to be return until July 18, but this is obviously a step in the right direction. There's no current timetable as to when he'll start throwing off a mound.

Rangers transferred RHP Neftali Feliz from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

This move was expected, and also necessary with Justin Grimm being added to the 40-man roster for a spot start Saturday against the Astros. Feliz is currently rehabbing a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and is scheduled to throw off flat ground on Monday. The Rangers remain optimistic that he'll return in the second half of the season, though it will likely be in a bullpen role.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) is scheduled to throw off flat ground Monday.

It will be his first time throwing since being shut down late last month with an strained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The Rangers are optimistic he'll return during the second half of the season, though it will likely be as a reliever.

The Rangers have received positive reports on Neftali Feliz (elbow) from doctors.

This weekend will mark four weeks since the Rangers shut Feliz down due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The early word is promising, but he'll need to see more doctors before getting clearance to throw again.

Rangers manager Ron Washington met with Neftali Feliz on Wednesday to discuss a potential role change.

Feliz is currently on the disabled list with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and will likely be pushed back to the bullpen once he returns. The Rangers agreed to a deal with veteran starter Roy Oswalt earlier this week.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Neftali Feliz has a ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his right elbow.

His injury had been described just as inflammation. It's always concerning when the UCL is involved, but evidently Feliz's ligament isn't bad enough to require surgery. He'll be shut down for at least a month and isn't expected to return to the Rangers until after the All-Star break. Daniels also mentioned that it's possible Feliz's role could chance upon his return.

Neftali Feliz (elbow) could be sidelined until the All-Star break.

Feliz was placed on the disabled list Monday with right elbow inflammation. He'll be shut down for a month, after which he'll begin a throwing program. This will likely sideline him until the All-Star break, if not longer. The 24-year-old right-hander was facing an innings limit in his first season in the rotation anyway, so this might not be the worst thing for him given that there's no structural damage. Scott Feldman will take his spot in the starting rotation and is worth adding in AL-only formats.

Neftali Feliz yielded one run and three hits in four 2/3 innings Friday against the Astros.

Robbie Ross was credited with the win. Feliz struggled with his economy of pitches, walking five, and throwing just 50 of his 101 pitches for strikes. He's now 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA this season.

Neftali Feliz yielded two runs and four hits in six innings Sunday in a win over the Angels.

Mark Trumbo's homer was the only damage. Feliz still hasn't allowed more than four runs in a start this season. He's 3-1 with a 3.32 ERA.

Neftali Feliz served up a solo home run to Raul Ibanez in an inning of relief in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

Feliz also notched a strikeout as he got some work in ahead of his Tuesday outing against the Blue Jays. Although Joe Nathan has been less than stellar in the early going as the Rangers' closer, Feliz's leash as a starter appears to be very long.
