Scheppers ready for rehab assignment

ARLINGTON -- Rangers right-hander Tanner Scheppers will likely begin a rehab assignment by throwing an inning for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.

Scheppers, who is on the 60-day disabled list and has yet to appear this season while recovering from February left knee surgery, threw 27 pitches in live batting practice before Saturday's game against the Tigers. Pitching coach Doug Brocail said Scheppers looked "really, really good" during the session.

"In my mind, I feel like I'm ready, I felt good today," Scheppers said. "I think it's about going out there and getting some game experience and getting the blood flowing.
