2B	1	Ian Kinsler D.L. Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercostal 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) has been playing catch but said he is only throwing around "40 percent." "I don't know when they'll let me throw hard," the right-hander added. Ogando said that he's feeling better, so there's definitely some progress even if it might be coming slowly. There is no structural damage in Ogando's biceps, but it's unclear when he'll return. May 21
	5	Nick Tepesch Sidelined Nick Tepesch has been scratched from his Wednesday start due to a blister on his right middle finger. Ross Wolf will take the mound in his place. Tepesch should be fine by his next turn in the Rangers' rotation. May 21
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) acknowledged on Monday afternoon that he's unhappy with his fastball velocity. Lewis was sitting around 85-86 mph in his rehab start Monday at Double-A Frisco and wants to be closer to 89-91 mph by the time he returns to the major leagues. The hope had been that he would be ready to rock during the first week of June, but a more realistic timetable calls for him to be activated near the middle of the month. Lewis is on his way back from major right elbow surgery. May 20
	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
	9	Ross Wolf
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	Neal Cotts
	9	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
