ST. PETERSBURG -- Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis is ready for a medical rehabilitation assignment.
On the disabled list because of a torn muscle in the back of his right shoulder, Lewis is scheduled to take that next step after a two-inning live batting practice session on Friday at Tropicana Field.
"Everything was good, real good," Lewis said.
Lewis is scheduled to pitch three innings for Double-A Frisco at San Antonio on Wednesday. He will make one more start after that before the Rangers decide if he is ready to return to the Major League rotation.
