From the Rangers site:
Padilla gets washed away: On Thursday, Vicente Padilla made his fourth rehab start since being placed on the 15-day disabled list with right triceps irritation. Unfortunately for the Rangers right-hander, things didn't go as planned.
Padilla, pitching for Double-A Frisco, allowed four runs in the first inning before rain forced the game to be suspended.
Despite the rough first inning, Rangers pitching coach Mark Connor says not to read too much into the outing because of the rough weather conditions.
"It was sprinkling to start the game and the mound got a little wet," Connor said. "So he took it easy, which I'm glad he did."
Padilla will take the mound again on either Sunday or Monday. If the Rangers decide to hold him back until Monday, it's likely that Padilla will be stretched out to throw 60-65 pitches. That number won't be quite as high if he pitches one day earlier. Connor said the decision on which day Padilla pitches will be made once he's had a chance to talk with his starter.
