Rehabbing Diekman launches foundation
(MLB.com Texas Rangers)

Wednesday, as it turns out, ended up being a pretty good day for Jake Diekman. First came the news that he`s headed out for a rehab assignment on Thursday with Double-A Frisco. The left-hander is scheduled to throw 15 pitches in his first game action this year. Diekman said he`s keeping it pretty simple; he wants to be certain his fastball is under control before trying to mix it up.
