Manager Ron Washington said late Thursday that right-hander Dustin Nippert is the likely choice to start the first-half finale Sunday at Seattle. Nippert made his 2009 debut Tuesday in a start against the Angels, allowing three runs in 3 2/3 innings. He threw only 72 pitches and said he could have handled more, but he fell behind too many hitters and was having trouble locating his fastball.
