Texas Rangers reliever Tim Lincecum will play catch Thursday to test out the blister he has been suffering from for the past few days. The former Cy Young winner is targeting May 1 to return to action. Lincecum missed the entire spring after signing with the Rangers and will likely need a week or two of seasoning in the minors to get back to speed. [...]

The Texas Rangers have scratched reliever Tim Lincecum from his outing tomorrow due to a blister forming on the pitcher's middle finger. There was little hope that the former Freak would be ready for Opening Day, and the emergence of this pesky blister only casts more doubt. [...]

As the Texas Rangers prep Tim Lincecum for a return to the majors, they are not expecting him to be available for Opening Day. The former Cy Young winner is attempting a comeback by joining the Rangers' bullpen, but what role he will eventually occupy is unclear until the team can get comfortable with his production. [...]

Texas Rangers pitcher Tim Lincecum was thought to be in competition for the closer's role to open the 2018 season, but Rangers pitching coach Doug Brocail said Tuesday that he does not think that Lincecum will be ready for Opening Day. Lincecum signed a one-year, $1 million free agent contract with the Rangers on March 6, but the 33-year-old right-hander has yet to appear in a Cactus League game. This is more about building him up properly than anything injury-related. He threw live batting prac[...]

Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports that Tim Lincecum will be joining the bullpen for the Texas Rangers in 2018. What role he will occupy is still to be determined, according to GM Jon Daniels, but the team has not ruled out using Lincecum in the late innings. The former Cy Young winner represents one of the more interesting gambles this season. If Lincecum regains some of the form that helped him lead the Giants to three [...]

Grant reports that the deal is for just $1 million for the season.

This article references and more! Free-agent starting pitcher Tim Lincecum has a guaranteed offer from a team not named the Giants, according to a source. If the Giants want to bring Lincecum back, they'll have to offer more than a minor league deal, which is unlikely. The Freak is said to be in great shape and was hitting 90 mph with his fastball during a showcase for interested teams last week, but it's unlikely that he'll come anywhere close to his Cy Young form if he lands a spot in a team's rotation. The Dodgers are also ex[...]Keep on reading: Tim Lincecum Has Guaranteed Offer

This article references and more! Free-agent starting pitcher Tim Lincecum looked improved from two years ago during his showcase for scouts on Thursday, and he was reportedly throwing 90-93 mph with his fastball in front of 25 to 30 scouts for at least 15 teams. Lincecum appears to be in good shape, so he'll probably at least sign a minor league deal with a team and compete for a rotation spot.
