The Rangers broke camp on Thursday and are ready to head back to Texas. Reliever Eric Gagne wasn't with them, and he won't pitch for them for another two weeks. The Rangers have decided to put Gagne on the disabled list and give him more time to get ready for the season. Gagne, who has pitched in just 16 games over the past two seasons, has appeared in only three exhibition games this spring. "This is really us being overcautious," general manager Jon Daniels said. "He feels great, and he felt great after he pitched [on Tuesday]. He wants to be with the team. But we're going to play it safe and make sure he's 100 percent healthy for the season." Gagne underwent back surgery on July 8, 2006, and Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery on June 24, 2005, and he still is trying to regain full arm strength after two years of near inactivity. "I know from experience you just can't put a date on anything," Gagne said. "They're pulling the reins in on me, and it's good. They feel there's no reason for me to push it, and I totally understand it. I don't feel I need a lot of innings. But, do I need some innings? Yeah, maybe."
