Injured Moreland to begin throwing Monday

ARLINGTON -- Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland will travel with the Rangers as they go to Houston for a three-game series beginning Monday as he continues to recover from left elbow surgery.

Moreland said he will get the sutures in his arm removed either Monday or Tuesday and begin throwing again that same day. He is eligible to come off the disabled list May 13.

"I feel great. I'm ready to go," Moreland said. "I can swing right now, but it's probably not smart. I feel like I could do anything right now."

Moreland was unsure whether he would go on a Minor League rehab assignment, although Rangers manager Jeff Banister thinks he should before returning to the team.
