Barnette (back) pitched on consecutive days for Double-A Frisco on Thursday and Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barnette has been out since the final half of spring training dealing with back stiffness. Having a reliever pitch on consecutive days is one of the final boxes to check before having him return to active duty, so we should expect to see him back with the Rangers in short order. Barnette declared himself "willing and able" to be activated off the 10-day disabled list.
