Joe Nathan recorded his 19th save of the season with a scoreless inning in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

It wasn't easy, as Nathan allowed a leadoff walk before the next batter reached on an error. But, after a sac bunt, Nathan struck out Jose Bautista and then got Edwin Encarnacion to pop out to end it. The veteran closer has been excellent this season, sporting a 1.78 ERA and 0.83 WHIP while converting 19 of 20 save chances. Jun 9 - 4:29 PM

1B	1	Mitch Moreland D.L. Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Monday. Moreland was cleared after running the bases on Sunday with no issues. He'll play at Frisco for three games before being activated on Friday, the first day he's eligible. The first baseman has been out since June 6 with a right hamstring strain. Jun 16

3B	1	Adrian Beltre
LF	1	David Murphy
	2	Jeff Baker D.L. Rangers placed OF Jeff Baker on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right thumb. The move is retroactive to June 13, so Baker will be allowed to return in less than 15 days if he's feeling well enough. He suffered the right thumb sprain last week while trying to give a high-five to a teammate. Jun 18

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Matt Harrison D.L. Matt Harrison played catch Monday for the first time since his back surgery. Good news, but Harrison will be restricted to flat ground work for another 4-6 weeks before getting back on a mound. Even then, he'll likely need another month to build up his workload. The southpaw isn't expected to rejoin the Rangers' rotation until September, though he could provide a nice boost down the stretch. Jun 17
	2	Yu Darvish
	3	Derek Holland
	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. 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
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Josh Lindblom
	8	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) threw off a mound on Monday. It's the first time he's done so since he was shut down after feeling soreness in the back of his right elbow. Lewis will likely need several more mound sessions before facing hitters, so he's not close to resuming his rehab assignment. Jun 17
	9	Neftali Feliz D.L. Neftali Feliz (elbow) has been throwing off a half mound. He's done so without any issues and should progress to throwing off a full mound before long. Making his way back from Tommy John surgery, Feliz isn't expected to return until August. Jun 9
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Joe Nathan
	2	Joakim Soria D.L. Joakim Soria (elbow, pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday with Double-A Frisco. Soria has thrown multiple bullpen sessions and rounds of live batting practice this month, reporting no issues with his surgically-repaired elbow. He could join the Rangers' bullpen by the end of this month. Jun 18
	3	Tanner Scheppers
	4	Robbie Ross
	5	Jason Frasor
	6	Michael Kirkman D.L. Rangers transferred LHP Michael Kirkman from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disables list. Kirkman has experienced a recurrence of the cancer near his right triceps muscle and is sidelined indefinitely. Jun 12
