As reported by Todd Wills of ESPN Dallas, pitcher Neftali Feliz was shut down after feeling some discomfort while attempting to warm up on Sunday for Triple-A Round Rock.
Although the Texas Rangers is calling Feliz day-to-day with mild triceps tendinitis, such a development at this stage of recovery from Tommy John surgery is par for the course and not wholly unexpected. It has been a little over a year since Feliz had the procedure, and the pitcher has been working hard in an effort to join the Rangers bullpen to assist in their September drive for the post-season.
This latest setback decreases the odds that Feliz will be able to pitch in the major leagues this season, but there's still a chance that a few days rest allow him to get back on track, and ultimately, into a few more rehab outings at the minor league level without further incident.
