Joe Nathan was sitting between 95-96 mph with his fastball on Wednesday against the A's.
Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says that's something Nathan "hasn't done since 2006-2007." The veteran reliever has settled in to the Rangers' ninth-inning role and should be a top-tier closer in fantasy leagues by the end of the 2012 campaign.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Joe Nathan nailed down his sixth save of the season Monday, pitching a perfect ninth inning while recording a strikeout in a win over the Blue Jays.
It was a quick 1-2-3, as Nathan retired the Jays on 10 pitches, nine of which that went for strikes. Nathan looked shaky in a couple outings earlier this season, but he's found his groove with six straight scoreless appearances. He'll continue to see plenty of save chances for the best team in baseball.
Apr 30 - 10:33 PM
Joe Nathan tossed a scoreless ninth inning in a non-save situation Saturday against the Twins.
It was Nathan's first appearance since he gave up three runs in a blown save Wednesday against the Mariners. He allowed a single to Justin Morneau and a double to Josh Willingham to begin the inning, but struck out Ryan Doumit and Danny Valencia before getting Chris Parmelee to ground out to end it. Mike Adams and Alexi Ogando handled the last two save opportunities as Nathan was getting some extra rest, but his closer job is not any jeopardy at the moment.
Apr 14 - 4:53 PM
Joe Nathan was given his second straight day off Friday, but Rangers' manager Ron Washington said that his closer job is not in jeopardy.
Mike Adams closed out Thursday's game and Alexi Ogando got the call on Friday, but Washington insists that Nathan is just getting extra rest after throwing 27 pitches as part of a blown save on Wednesday. "He had a big workload the last time out there, and we decided to give him one more," said Washington. "He'll be back in there tomorrow."

Neftali Feliz
D.L.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Neftali Feliz has an 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 change upon his return.
