Worth noting

• Pitcher Kyle McClellan, who has been sidelined with soreness in the back of his right shoulder, is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Saturday. If that goes well, he could pitch one inning in a game on Tuesday and still has time to build up as a starter.

According to assistant general manager Thad Levine, "There can't be any more setbacks, if he wants to be a candidate for the starting rotation."

• Pitcher Wilmer Font, who has had shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Sunday. That could be his last step before pitching in a game.

• The last of the Rangers Minor Leaguers officially reported on Friday. Many have already been here working out, but now the entire organization is officially at the Rangers Spring Training headquarters, except those away at the World Baseball Classic.

• Catcher Eli Whiteside remains sidelined with a strained left calf muscle.
