What was originally thought to be something that would keep Derek Holland out only until the All-Star break will now keep him out until at least Aug. 20.
The left-hander was transferred to the 60-day DL after the shoulder inflammation he felt after a June 20 start lingered until just before the end of the first half. Holland is throwing again, but the rehab plan the Rangers designed for him had him returning Aug. 19.
"He just started throwing last week," Daniels said. "When you look at mapping out a rehab schedule for him, building him back up, it just takes time."
The Rangers are cautiously optimistic that right-hander Kyle Lohse can avoid a DL stint because of a strained oblique muscle. He played catch Thursday and will attempt to throw a bullpen session Saturday.
If all goes well, he will be the starter Tuesday at Anaheim. Chi Chi Gonzalez and Nick Martinez are options at Triple A to make the start if Lohse can't pitch.
