Rangers transferred RHP Colby Lewis from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

It's just a procedural move. Lewis is still on his way back from elbow surgery and seems doubtful to be ready to pitch in major league games before the end of June.

Colby Lewis is experiencing soreness in his triceps.

It's another setback for the right-hander, who embarked on a rehab assignment May 9 and had been aiming to return from elbow surgery by June. Now early July is looking like the safest bet. Lewis will rest for two weeks before trying to resume his throwing program.

Colby Lewis (elbow) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock Saturday.

He threw 60 pitches in the outing. Lewis was pleased with the way the ball was coming out of his hand, but his velocity remained in the mid-80s. He'll have to get some more pep on his heater before the Rangers consider activating him.

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.

Colby Lewis (elbow) allowed two runs over 2 1/3 innings Monday in a rehab start with Double-A Frisco.

Lewis yielded four hits but he did not walk a batter and struck out three. The right-hander threw 47 pitches -- 33 of which were strikes -- and will probably aim to make it past 60 in his next rehab outing. If everything continues to go smoothly, Lewis should be ready to join the Rangers' starting rotation during the first week of June.

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.

Colby Lewis is experiencing discomfort in his right triceps muscle and may miss his next rehab start.

Lewis was able to play catch on Saturday at extended spring training, but the Rangers don't want to put him on a mound in a live game unless he's feeling 100 percent. The right-hander is still on track to return around late May or early June. He's on his way back from July elbow surgery and went two innings in his first rehab outing Thursday at Triple-A Round Rock.

Colby Lewis (elbow) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over two innings Thursday in his first rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock.

Lewis struck out a pair but didn't appear to be very sharp in the outing, which isn't surprising since he hadn't pitched in a real game since last July. The right-hander will need a few more starts to build up his inning before rejoining the Rangers' rotation in late May.
