Alexi Ogando (shoulder) remains limited to flat ground throwing.
Ogando still has some soreness in his right shoulder, and the Rangers aren't going to let him thrown from the mound until he's completely pain-free. He'll need to go out on a rehab assignment after throwing off a mound at least a couple times, so the right-hander isn't close to returning. Jun 17 - 9:20 PM

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alexi Ogando (shoulder) will resume a throwing program on Friday.

Ogando has made just one start over the last month due to triceps and shoulder ailments. Despite his propensity for injury while in the rotation, the Rangers still plan on using him as a starter when he comes back. "He wants to be a starter, and he's good at it, so why shouldn't he be a starter?" general manager Jon Daniels said. There's no timetable for Ogando's return.

Rangers placed RHP Alexi Ogando on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 6, with right shoulder inflammation.

Ogando missed three weeks of action with biceps tendinitis and wound up making just one start for the Rangers before being placed back on the DL. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. Josh Lindblom will assume his spot in the rotation.

Alexi Ogando allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings against the Red Sox on Wednesday in his first start since May 15.

The Rangers activated Ogando from the disabled list before the start and he picked up right where he left off, allowing just three hits and three walks while striking out six. He was denied a win for his effort, but the outing was still a positive one for the right-hander. Start him with confidence going forward. His next start will be against the Indians on Monday.

Ogando is returning to a 3.08 ERA over nine starts at the major league level.

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Alex Ogando (biceps) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start Friday at Double-A Frisco.

If it goes well, it should be the only rehab start that he has to make. Ogando has been on the disabled list since May 16 with right biceps tendinitis. He is on track to return to the Rangers' rotation in about a week.

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Friday that he's not sure whether Alexi Ogando (biceps) will require a minor league rehab start before coming off the disabled list.

Ogando will throw off flat ground on Saturday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. An MRI revealed no structural damage in his biceps, so as long as he feels no pain, he should be ready to go as soon as he's eligible to come off the disabled list.

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.

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 - S - Rangers

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 - S - Rangers

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 - S - Rangers

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.
