Tyson Ross was back at Petco Park on Monday pitching to live batters.
The problem is that it wasn’t in a game for the Texas Rangers, but rather in live batting practice as he continues his road to the rotation after off-season surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome and back spasms last month.
He liked how he felt after two 15-pitch innings against Rougned Odor, Nomar Mazara and Ryan Rua. Ross isn’t sure of the next step in his rehab, but said that he is confident he can handle whatever is decided.
