ARLINGTON -- Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis is expected to miss up to two months with a strained lat muscle in the back of his right shoulder.
The injury showed up during an MRI on Wednesday. The Rangers originally thought Lewis was dealing with soreness in the right triceps area, but the examination showed it was a problem with the lat muscle.
Lewis will not throw for four weeks. At that point, he will have another MRI exam, which will tell if he is ready to begin a throwing program. However, it would still take him several weeks to rebuild his arm strength and endurance.
