Evan Grant reports that Antonio Alfonseca is likely heading to the disabled list with elbow problems. This gives Scott Feldman a reprieve, since the Rangers were going to have to make a roster move to add Robinson Tejeda for Friday's start, and Feldman would otherwise likely have been optioned to AAA.
Grant also says that Phil Nevin is probably not going to start any of the three games this weekend in Houston, since there's no DH, and points out that Nevin is hitting just .171 in his last 76 ABs.
We need a new DH.
