No game yesterday. And not much in the way of Rangers stories this morning.

Neftali Feliz, who was lifted from the game on Tuesday with tightness in his shoulder, reported feeling better yesterday, and while he is scheduled to be re-evaluated today, he's not set to have an MRI, and the sense seems to be that he should be fine going forward.

Behind the paywall, Evan Grant has a piece on Ron Washington.

Jeff Wilson has an article on spring training thusfar, looking at who has looked the best, what roster battles are ongoing, and what the areas of concern are.

Former Ranger first rounder Kasey Kiker, who was released earlier in the offseason and then signed with the Phillies, has been released by the Phillies.

Durrett has a blog post on the battle for the lefthanded reliever job. Michael Kirkman continues to be seen as the favorite for the job.
