Oswalt Planning Four Rehab StartsRoy Oswalt has thrown bullpen sessions every other day for the past six weeks and believes he can be ready to join the Rangers after about four starts. Oswalt's first start at Triple-A Round Rock is slated for Saturday. "My arm feels great, my body feels great," the right-hander said. "I think we'll go out and try to have a 50- or 60-pitch count that first game and I'm hoping after about four starts to be ready to join the team." Oswalt, 34, said his back feels good and that others "have worse cases than I have."

The deal is pending a physical, which Oswalt will have on Thursday. He is expected to join Triple-A Round Rock this weekend and general manager Jon Daniels said Oswalt will make his first start on Saturday. "He's been throwing for quite a while now; he feels good about where he is," Rangers president Nolan Ryan said.

Oswalt has worked out for other teams, but Texas has long been believed to be his preferred destination. "I would be shocked if he doesn't go to Texas," a baseball official said. "A team is going to have to greatly outbid Texas to keep him from going there."

However, the free-agent remains unsigned as June approaches. Major League executives claim that teams have been turned off by the right-hander's asking price. The Dodgers checked in and considered the price "excessive." One source said Oswalt wants a pro-rated $7.5 million in base salary. Another said that Oswalt's desired salary is a moving target, "but always high."

Darvish, who improved to 7-2 with a 12-6 win over the Blue Jays, allowed seven hits and three runs before leaving. "You know he came up with a stiff back and it could've been some of the reason he was erratic," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I didn't find out about it until after the fifth inning was over and he was in the dugout. "He stood out there and gave us five. If he didn't have the stiff back he would've went out for the sixth. At some point I felt he was going to have a quick inning. We weren't taking a chance once he said his back was stiff, so we took him out."
