Loosening up.

Well, the latest word on Neftali Feliz, shown here on his 2010 Topps Peak Performance Relics card, is that the shoulder stiffness he experienced on Tuesday was not serious. Good news since the starting rotation is going to be even more important to Texas' success than it was last year.

According to MLB.com the Rangers are saying that there is no structural damage. Feliz says that this time around it did not feel near as bad as the stiffness that landed him on the Disabled List last year. Still needed some kind of treatment though and a couple of days off.

While it's a relief to know that Feliz isn't hurt, this incident is a concern. Good idea for the Rangers to keep Alexi Ogando stretched out for a possible starting role. Could be that that he will be needed.
