Joakim Soria - R - Texas Rangers
Feb. 15, 2013 - 10:40 AM ET

Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux said Joakim Soria (elbow) is ahead of schedule.

The right-hander has already thrown a few bullpen sessions without any issues and should be ready to roll sometime in May. Soria, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, will be used as a setup man ahead of Joe Nathan once he's healthy.
