Gagne to Begin Season on DL

The glass slipper hasn't fit for Eric Gagne yet, and Akinori Otsuka owners are grinning. For Gagne owners, you have to keep your lips zipped. This could be a blessing in disguise, as the Rangers are intelligently giving Gagne more time to fully prepare for the season. This isn't a health setback?or is it? The AP reports: "The move will be retroactive to Wednesday, meaning Gagne could rejoin the Rangers on April 13 for the start of a series in Seattle. Gagne will pitch for Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma until then, and will make back-to-back appearances before joining the Rangers."
