Texas Rangers starting pitcher Matt Harrison was scheduled to throw 95 pitches or go six innings in Saturdays Double-A Frisco rehab start. He was so efficient that he didnt even get to 95 pitches and still managed to go eight innings against Corpus Christi. Harrison threw 86 pitches (54 strikes) in his eight innings, allowing just three hits with one walk and five strikeouts. He had nine ground ball outs and four fly ball outs and faced 27 batters. Harrisons lone walk came in the second and he got the next batter to ground into a double play. He helped Frisco to a club-record 10th straight win. The Rangers must decide if they want Harrison to make one more rehab start to build up even more arm strength, or if hes ready to join the rotation possibly at some point next week. They have until early May to make a decision, which is when Harrisons 30-day rehab window will be over. Harrisons next turn would come on Thursday, when Texas is off. So its possible the Rangers could slide him into the rotation in Seattle next weekend, if they believe hes ready.
