Texas Rangers: Round Rock
Neftali Feliz gives up 4 runs in rehab start
He lasted 1 2/3 innings and gave up four runs (one earned) on three hits with two walks and a strikeout. The outing included a balk and a wild pitch -- both in the first inning.
Feliz threw 47 pitches. He'll try to build on that -- and increase his innings count -- in his next rehab start, likely the middle of next week.

Roy Oswalt eyes four starts in minors
Oswalt's first start at Triple-A Round Rock, a place he knows well from his days in the Houston Astros minor league system, is slated for Saturday.
"My arm feels great, my body feels great," said Oswalt during a conference call with reporters Wednesday afternoon. "I think we'll go out and try to have a 50- or 60-pitch count that first game and I'm hoping after about four starts to be ready to join the team."
