| Player Notes |
| September 21, 2007 Vicente Padilla has dropped his appeal and immediately began serving his seven-game suspension for intentionally hitting Oakland's Nick Swisher, according to the Dallas Morning News. Padilla won't make another start this season, although he could work out of the bullpen over the final weekend. |
| August 15, 2007 The Rangers activated Vicente Padilla from the disabled list on Wednesday. He'll start tonight against the Royals, according to the AP. He has been sidelined with a strained right triceps. |
| August 9, 2007 Vicente Padilla, on the DL with a triceps injury, is scheduled to throw 60-65 pitches at Frisco on Friday. Barring any setbacks, he could return to the Rangers rotation on August 15, according to the Dallas Morning News. Padilla is expected to be on a pitch count of 80-85 pitches when he returns. |
| August 5, 2007 Vicente Padilla, out with right triceps irritation, was scheduled to pitch four innings for Double-A Frisco on Sunday, according to the AP. He will make at least one more minor league rehab start before rejoining the Rangers. |
| August 2, 2007 Vicente Padilla is scheduled to make another rehab start today for Double-A Frisco, according to the Dallas Morning News. He will throw 60-65 pitches or four innings. Padilla is expected to make at least one more rehab start after this before rejoining the Rangers. |
| July 29, 2007 Vicente Padilla made his second minor league rehab start on Saturday with Double-A Frisco, throwing two scoreless innings while allowing three hits and one walk with four strikeouts. Padilla, who went on the DL on June 25 with right triceps irritation, is expected to make at least one more rehab start. |
| July 26, 2007 Vicente Padilla responded well to his rehab start for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. Padilla, recovering from a triceps injury, is scheduled for another one Saturday, when he will throw three innings or 45 pitches. Pitching coach Mark Connor said the Rangers would like to increase Padilla's rehab workload by 15 pitches an outing until he reaches 75 pitches. "We'd love to get him back here and be the real Padilla," Connor said in the Dallas Morning News. "But from arm strength and pitch count, he's not ready." |
| July 25, 2007 Vicente Padilla threw 30 pitches in two scoreless innings for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. Padilla, who is coming back from a triceps injury, said he felt better than he did in his bullpen session last weekend and is pleased with his progress, according to the Dallas Morning News. He expects to throw again this week, likely on Friday. |
| July 22, 2007 Vicente Padilla pitched a couple of simulated innings on Saturday and came away feeling all right. "He felt good," pitching coach Mark Connor told the Dallas Morning News. "He cut the ball loose." His next step will be two innings in a rehab game with Triple-A Frisco on Tuesday. Padilla's had a slow recovery from a triceps injury, but he's moving in the right direction for the moment. |
| July 20, 2007 Vicente Padilla's return continues to be delayed, according to the Rangers official site. Padilla, on the disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow, threw on flat ground on Thursday without problems, and now the constantly changing plan is for him to throw off a mound on Saturday. If that goes well, he could make another rehab start on Tuesday. But that plan is tentative based on how he feels on Saturday. |
| July 19, 2007 The Rangers are hoping Vicente Padilla will be able to make a rehab start for Double-A Frisco on Friday. If that goes well, he'd be a candidate to rejoin the Rangers' rotation sometime next week, according to the Dallas Morning News. Padilla is dealing with triceps tendinitis. |
| July 18, 2007 Vicente Padilla (elbow) won't rejoin the rotation Sunday against Cleveland, as manager Ron Washington originally hoped, the AP reports. Padilla still hasn't made his next minor league rehab start or even thrown a bullpen session, and the Rangers are being cautious. "The whole thing is that he get well," Washington said. "If we have to take more time, that's exactly what we're going to do." |
| July 15, 2007 Vicente Padilla was unable to toss his scheduled bullpen session on Saturday. It's now uncertain if Padilla will be able to make his next rehab start, which is scheduled for Tuesday, according to the Dallas Morning News. Padilla, who is recovering from a triceps injury, left his last rehab start early due to soreness in his forearm area. If he can't take the mound Tuesday, it's unlikely he will be ready to rejoin the Rangers July 22, as had been hoped. |
| July 14, 2007 Vicente Padilla began his rehab assignment on Thursday. Unfortunately, he left after just 2 2/3 innings after feeling some soreness in his right forearm area, according to the Dallas Morning News. It wasn't clear if this was a setback in his recovery from a triceps injury, but he felt much better on Friday. He'll try to toss a bullpen session Saturday and make another rehab appearance on Tuesday. If all goes well, he could return on July 22. |
| July 6, 2007 Vicente Padilla threw in the bullpen Thursday and is expected to make the first of two planned rehab starts next Thursday. His second rehab start could come on July 17, putting him on pace to rejoin the Rangers rotation on July 22, according to the Dallas Morning News. |
| July 5, 2007 Vicente Padilla threw off flat ground again Wednesday as he continued rehabbing from inflammation behind his right elbow that landed him on the 15-day DL on June 25, the AP reports. Padilla will have another throwing session on Friday before team management and medical personnel decide on the next step, which will include a few minor league outings. |
| July 1, 2007 Vicente Padilla, who's on the disabled list with a right triceps injury, is expected to resume throwing when the Rangers get home next week, the AP reports. |
| June 25, 2007 The Rangers plan to place Vicente Padilla on the disabled list. The move may not come until Tuesday, but the club wants to give him 20-22 days to rest his ailing right triceps, according to the Dallas Morning News. That means he won't return to action until after the All-Star break, though hopefully he will be in better shape by then. It's not clear yet who will take Padilla's start Tuesday, though John Koronka is an option. |
| June 10, 2007 Vicente Padilla will make his scheduled start Sunday night against Milwaukee after reporting that the right triceps irritation that knocked him out of his last start has improved, the AP reports. |
| June 8, 2007 Vicente Padilla came through a 53-pitch bullpen session on Friday reporting no problems with the right triceps irritation that knocked him out of his last start, according to the AP. Padilla is scheduled to start Sunday night against Milwaukee. If he is unable to go, the Rangers would call up lefty John Koronka from Triple-A Oklahoma to make the start. |
| June 7, 2007 Ron Washington says Vicente Padilla will probably be able to make his next scheduled start Sunday night against Milwaukee, the AP reports. Padilla was scratched from Tuesday night's start against Detroit due to right triceps irritation. Padilla will have a bullpen session on Thursday to determine his readiness for Sunday's start, but Washington said: "He assured us he just needed to miss this one start." |
| June 5, 2007 Vicente Padilla was scratched from his Tuesday start due to an irritated right triceps, according to the AP. John Rheinecker was activated from the disabled list to replace Padilla as the Rangers' starter. Padilla is 2-8 with a 6.45 ERA and 1.63 WHIP this season. His status for Sunday's scheduled start is unclear at this time. |
| March 18, 2007 Vicente Padilla will skip today's start because of soreness in his right triceps, according to the Dallas Morning News. Manager Ron Washington and GM Jon Daniels stressed that holding Padilla back is just a precaution. "He told us he'd make the start if we wanted him to, but we're going to play it safe," Daniels said. "He's scheduled to throw on the side instead, and will have two more starts before we break." |
