Derek Holland Making Progress

According to Drew Davison of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram, Derek Holland is making progress in his recovery from a right kneecap injury.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that Derek Holland’s right knee is feeling better, and the left-hander is throwing off flat ground in Arizona.

Holland has had problems with his right kneecap staying in place, but a sleeve has prevented it from happening and he is now throwing pain free. The knee has delayed Holland’s return from the disabled list. He went on the DL June 1 with rotator-cuff inflammation. The shoulder has been fine for more than a week, but the knee has set him back.

Daniels said the next step would be for Holland to throw one or two bullpen sessions, and then throw live batting practice. He would then go out on a rehab assignment.

Before landing on the DL, Holland had posted a 2-1 record with a 4.19 ERA in 19.1 innings for the Rangers since his promotion from AAA.
