The Texas Rangers announced that they are placing closer Neftali Feliz on the 15 day DL, retroactive to Thursdaywith shoulder inflamation. This is bad news for the Rangers, but it also explains why they are bringing right hander CodyEppley to the bigs. Epply has been a closer before in the minors, and even thought I doubt he will close at the major league level, it is nice to know that he can. Neftali is eligable to return on May 6th against the Yankees. The Rangers have put minor league reliever Eric Hurley on the 60 day DL after taking a comebacker off the head that slightly fractured his skull to make room for Eppley. Lets hope that No. 1 it is not that serious for Feliz, No. 2 that Hurley is ultimatly okay, and No. 3 that Eppley can pitch as well in the majors as he did in the minors. By the way, Eppley is available for tonights game.
