We have Rauch, Feliz sightings!

After going with Matt Guerrier in an eventful save opp Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins turned to stopper Jon Rauch for a non-save appearance Wednesday. The righty allowed a hit in a scoreless wrap-up in his first action since June 5.
Despite leading 12-2 in the ninth, the Texas Rangers gave Neftali Feliz his first work since June 4. The righty pitched two-thirds of an inning, allowing one walk while striking out one. He had plenty of cushion, at least.
