Scott Feldman has come out of nowhere to be the Rangers’ most effective starting pitcher this season. He has pitched in 20 games (17 starts) for the Rangers this season and he is 9-3 with a 3.59 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. This comes as a major surprise to the Rangers as Feldman came into this season pitching in 101 games (25 starts) for them and he was 7-13 with a 4.97 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. Watching Feldman pitch this season I see no reason for him to slow down as long as he remains healthy.

The Rangers have released veteran righty starting pitcher Orlando Hernandez. “El Duque” pitched in 8 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball for the Rangers this season and he was 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA and a 0.73 WHIP. He only allowed 4 hits while whiffing 12 batters in 11 innings showing his stuff is still nasty. Hernandez could hook up with another team before the season is over.
