Rangers manager Jeff Banister said that he expects Ross (shoulder) to make his next start with the big club, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Rangers have yet to formalize their rotation plans for the upcoming week, but it's expected that Ross will be penciled in for his team debut either Saturday or Sunday against the Mariners. Ross, who is returning from surgery last October to address thoracic outlet syndrome, didn't inspire much confidence in his abilities during his four-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock, compiling a 7.71 ERA and 11:11 K:BB over 18.2 innings. The 30-year-old said he was pleased with the way he raised his strike percentage during his most recent rehab start, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, so the Rangers will see if Ross can translate that into better results in his return to the big leagues.
