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.

Rangers placed RHP Alexi Ogando on the 15-day disabled list with biceps tendinitis.

Ogando felt some pain during Wednesday's start against the Athletics and will now get some extended rest. Cory Burns will take his spot on the roster while Josh Lindblom will start in his place next Monday against Oakland.

Alexi Ogando pitched six innings of two-run ball Wednesday in the Rangers' 6-2 win over the A's.

It's the seventh time in nine starts this season that Ogando has allowed two earned runs or less. Of course, he's not pitching deep into games at all -- he's gotten a total of four outs in the seventh inning or later -- but his return to the rotation has gone as well as the Rangers could have hoped.

Alexi Ogando yielded two runs in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a no-decision against the Astros.

Ogando dominated the Astros in his season debut, but he wasn't nearly as effective this time around. The right-hander had a hard time finding the strike zone, as he walked a season-high four batters and threw two wild pitches. Fantasy owners are fortunate that his line wasn't worse. Ogando will carry a 3.09 ERA into a start against the Athletics next week in Oakland.

Alexi Ogando allowed one run in six innings to get the win against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Ogando wasn't dominant, but he was good enough to get his third victory. He allowed six hits and two walks while striking out four. His strikeout totals leave something to be desired, but you can't argue with his 3.08 ERA. His next start, Friday against the Astros, should go even better.

Alexi Ogando allowed three earned runs over six innings Sunday in the Rangers' loss to the Twins.

Ogando got off to a roaring start this season but has been pretty average in his last three outings. He struck out just three Twins batters on Sunday, moving to 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 27/12 K/BB ratio in 32 total innings. Ogando will take on the Reds next.

Alexi Ogando didn't have his good stuff Thursday, getting lit up for five runs on six hits and two walks over just 2 1/3 frames in a loss to the Cubs.

Ogando was able to escape in the first thanks to a line-drive double play, but things went downhill from there. He gave up three hits and a run in the second and was finally chased in the third after allowing a triple, a walk and a pair of homers. Ogando had looked pretty locked in in his first three starts, so consider this a bump in the road. He'll look to bounce back next week in Anaheim.

Alexi Ogando will start as scheduled on Thursday against the Cubs despite Wednesday's rainout.

Justin Grimm will be skipped. The Cubs will push Carlos Villanueva, Jeff Samardzija and Edwin Jackson back a day. It's a break for Samardzija owners, as he'll now face a depleted Brewers lineup rather than the Rangers.

Alexi Ogando yielded one run in 5 1/3 innings Monday in a victory over the Rays.

Ogando struck out just two tonight after fanning 10 Astros last week, but the difference in opponents factored in there. He's 2-0 with a 0.77 ERA after two starts, and he has more good matchups coming up with the Mariners on the docket.
Apr 8 - 11:45 PM
Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alexi Ogando struck out 10 over 6 1/3 scoreless innings in defeating the Astros on Wednesday.

Ogando, Michael Kirkman and Joe Nathan combined on 15 strikeouts in the 4-0 win today, matching the Rangers' total from Yu Darvish's near perfect game last night. In all, Rangers pitchers fanned 43 Astros in the three-game series. Of course, Ogando is plenty good enough to rack up strikeouts against quality offenses, too. It's more of a consistency and durability thing for him. He's well worth playing in mixed leagues right now.

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alexi Ogando allowed three runs in four innings Friday against the Padres.

He allowed just two hits on the night, but they were costly, as they both left the yard. There's a chance they would have gone out even if they weren't playing in the Alamodome. Ogando will wrap up the spring with a solid 3.55 ERA in seven appearances, but it's a bit discouraging that he issued 15 walks in 25 1/3 innings. Still, he makes for an intriguing sleeper now that he's getting another shot as a starter. He'll make his season debut next Wednesday against the Astros.

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alexi Ogando pitched six scoreless innings in Sunday's win against the Reds.

It was by far his most effective Cactus League start. He allowed just three hits, struck out five, and was removed after 82 pitches. Ogando's strikeout potential makes him an intriguing target in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts. He posted a 2.95 ERA in six appearances this spring.

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alexi Ogando struggled in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs, surrendering three runs on five hits over five innings.

Ogando walked a pair while striking out three. All of the damage against him stemmed from his inability to keep the ball in the yard, as Alfonso Soriano connected for a two-run homer in the first and Darwin Barney added a solo shot in the second. Ogando's upside in strikeouts makes him an intriguing target in the middle rounds of mixed leagues.

Alexi Ogando walked three but held the Brewers scoreless over four innings Tuesday.

He gave up two hits and struck out three. Ogando got off to a slow start this spring, but he's come on his last couple times out and has shown improved velocity. He holds plenty of mixed league appeal in his move back into the Rangers' rotation.
Mar 12 - 6:38 PM
Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alexi Ogando struck out six while pitching three innings of one-run ball in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

He gave up two hits and issued two free passes. It's a much welcomed improvement after Ogando struggled his first two times out this spring. His velocity was also up where we're used to seeing it after it was down a bit the last two appearances.
