Mike Matuella's pro debut on Friday for Spokane

Texas Rangers pitcher Mike Matuella, the team's 3rd round pick in 2015, makes his pro debut on Friday, June 17, for Spokane

Mike Matuella, the third round draft pick by the Texas Rangers in the 2015 draft, will be making his professional debut on Friday, June 17, 2016, for the Spokane Indians.

Matuella, a righthander out of Duke University who was seen as a possible #1 overall pick in the 2015 draft before Tommy John surgery cut his season short, has been rehabbing his surgically repaired elbow since signing with the Rangers for a well-above-slot $2 million bonus last year.
