2B	1	Ian Kinsler D.L. Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercoastal strain. Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season. May 19

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Matt Harrison D.L. Matt Harrison recently had a setback with his back that required an additional surgery on Wednesday. Harrison underwent an operation on April 23 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back but began feeling additional discomfort this week, necessitating another procedure. According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers are "operating under the assumption that Harrison will pitch again this season, but he will be out for at least three months." In other words, we won't see him again until August at the earliest, and it seems like there's a good chance it will be longer than that. May 1
	2	Yu Darvish
	3	Derek Holland
	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. Alexi Ogando (biceps) underwent an MRI which revealed no structural damage. Ogando was placed on the disabled list on Thursday with biceps tendinitis after he felt some pain during Wednesday's start against the Athletics. It's an encouraging sign that no more serious damage was found, and his stay on the DL should be a short one. Josh Lindblom is expected to hold his place in the rotation while he's sidelined. May 17
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) is expected to rejoin the Rangers' rotation in the first week of June. After dealing with a minor bout of triceps tendinitis, Lewis will resume his rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Monday. He'll need two additional outings after that before being activated. The right-hander is a nice roster stash in fantasy leagues if you have room. May 17
	8	Neftali Feliz D.L. Neftali Feliz (elbow) is long-tossing at 120 feet. Feliz's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going fine, although it's not yet been announced when he'll be ready to throw off a mound. We expect him to return to a major league mound late in the summer. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Joe Nathan
	2	Joakim Soria D.L. Joakim Soria (elbow) will be shut down for 2-3 weeks with a strained pectoral muscle and is now not expected to return until around July 1. A tough break for the Rangers, as Soria had been slated to join the Rangers' bullpen as soon as late next month. The good news is that his surgically-repaired elbow is fine. The Rangers will continue to use a host of players to set up for Joe Nathan. Apr 22
	3	Tanner Scheppers
	4	Robbie Ross
	5	Jason Frasor
	6	Michael Kirkman
	7	Joseph Ortiz
	8	Derek Lowe
	9	Cory Burns
	10	Justin Miller D.L. Justin Miller (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Miller is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He'll need plenty of rehab time but could be a relief option for the Rangers next month. May 16
