Hearn was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to the suspension of spring training, Hearn made four appearances and posted a 3.00 ERA, 0.833 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB in six innings. The southpaw has made just four starts at the Triple-A level, so he'll head there for more seasoning before likely returning to the majors at some point in 2020.

Hearn (elbow) threw four bullpen sessions in October and has been cleared for a normal offseason, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn had a disappointing 2019 campaign, tossing just one-third of an inning due to elbow inflammation. He was shut down at the beginning of August after experiencing elbow irritation, but after firing four bullpens a month ago, he should be ready to roll for the start of spring training.

Hearn's throwing program was shut down due to elbow irritation Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn recorded a single big-league out before landing on the injured list with elbow tightness in late April. He resumed throwing in July before the issue popped up again. The renewed irritation reportedly isn't related to his UCL, so Tommy John surgery isn't expected to be required, but he may not have time to build up the arm strength to pitch again this season.

Hearn (elbow) is throwing long toss out to 120 feet, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a slow rehab path for Hearn, the left-hander who made his MLB debut earlier this season. The Rangers are in need of starting pitching and could turn to the rookie for some work down the stretch. However, given his relative inexperience and the Rangers competing for the playoffs, the team might look elsewhere for a starter.

Hearn (elbow) is not yet throwing off a mound and isn't likely to pitch before the end of July, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn is progressing more slowly than the Rangers initially expected, but the team was quick to point out the left-hander has not suffered a setback. Hearn made his MLB debut earlier this season, giving up four runs in a third of an inning.

Hearn (ebow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn has been out with elbow inflammation since late April and will now be ineligible to return before June 25. It's unclear when he's expected to be back in game action, though sometime roughly around that date appears possible, as he's recently resumed throwing. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Tim Federowicz, acquired in a trade from Cleveland in a corresponding move.

Hearn (elbow) is slated to begin a throwing program Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn succumbed to left elbow inflammation during his MLB debut April 25 and has been stuck on the 10-day injured list ever since. After a month-long shutdown period, he's ready to start the recovery process in earnest, but he's probably still at least a couple weeks away from appearing in minor-league rehab games. Hearn isn't a lock to stick with the big club once he's ultimately activated from the IL.

Hearn (elbow) will be re-examined Thursday after being shut down for three weeks, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn made a disappointing debut for Texas on April 26, departing after allowing five runs on three hits and four walks in a third of an inning. If the inflammation in his elbow has subsided, the left-hander could start a throwing program next week.

Hearn has no acute elbow injury, an MRI revealed Saturday, but he'll be shut down from throwing for three weeks due to inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn's major-league debut went very poorly Thursday, and it's possible the elbow injury is to blame. Assuming he's cleared to resume throwing after three weeks, he'll still need time to build his arm strength back up, so he's likely looking at a return to action no sooner than early June.

Hearn was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to left elbow tightness, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hearn got lit up by the Mariners on Thursday, although it's unclear if his injury had anything to do with his poor performance. He's expected to be re-examined in Dallas within the next few days to determine the extent of the injury.
