“We optioned Neftali with the goal of working with him to get back to where we all know he can be,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said in a statement. “He’s healthy and his work ethic has been solid, but he needs some work and the best place to get him that is in Round Rock right now. I expect he’ll be back as soon as he’s ready to help us.”
-Rangers GM Jon Daniels explains the decision to start 2010 AL Rookie of the Year Neftali Feliz with AAA Round Rock as opposed to the majors. Feliz only threw 4 2/3 innings in the majors in 2013 following Tommy John surgery in August of 2012.
