Rangers righty Kumar Rocker looked dominant on Thursday in his second rehab outing since landing on the injured list April 24 with a right shoulder impingement. The Rangers righty fired four hitless innings, striking out five while walking just one batter. Perhaps more importantly, his fastball averaged 97.3 mph over his 53-pitch outing–a full 2 mph faster than his 95.3 mph average amid a rocky start to the year in the big leagues. Rocker has now tossed seven scoreless innings across two rehab outings in the upper minors. Rocker is slated for more a couple more rehab outings before returning to the Rangers.
