Feliz said Tuesday that he's not focusing on disappointment after manager Jeff Banister changed the structure of the Rangers' bullpen, the Dallas Morning News reports. "I'm going to work every day to be more consistent; that's my mentality," Feliz said. "I understand why they did this. Everybody has to be ready to pitch in different situations. I'm fine. I just want to do whatever I can to help the team win the game."

Analysis:

Banister said Saturday after Feliz blew his third save of the season that he would do away with defined roles in the bullpen, which was a polite way of saying Feliz was removed from the closer role. Shawn Tolleson pitched the ninth inning Sunday and then again Wednesday, working a clean frame to earn his first career save. It seems Feliz may be used primarily in mop-up duty until he rights the ship.
