The Texas Rangers will be bringing starting pitcher Derek
Holland off the disabled list for his first start of the season during their
series with the Kansas City Royals.
However, starting pitcher Miles Mikolas was scratched from his start
yesterday due to shoulder fatigue.
The struggling Texas Rangers will be able to bring starting
pitcher Derek Holland on to the active roster when rosters expand tomorrow,
September 1. Holland has been on the
disabled list all season after
he had surgery on his left knee in early January after he fell at home. According to Gerry Fraley of the Dallas News,
Holland completed his six game minor league injury rehab on Thursday with a
5.57 ERA, allowing five homers in 15 1/3 innings. Rangers manager Ron Washington believes that
getting Holland back now will help him fully adjust to pitching on his repaired
knee.
The injuries continue to bother the Rangers, however. John Blake, the Executive Vice President of
Communications for the Rangers, tweeted on Friday that Miles Mikolas would not
make his Saturday start because of right shoulder fatigue. Mikolas is 2-5 in 10 starts with a 6.44 ERA
this season. Robbie Ross was recalled from
Triple-A Round Rock and went five no-hit innings in the Rangers loss to the
Houston Astros on Saturday.
Miles Mikolas has been scratched from Sat. start with right shoulder fatigue. LH Robbie Ross Jr. will be recalled from Round Rock to start.
