Omar Poveda to have Tommy John surgery

The right-hander felt pain in his right elbow after throwing Tuesday. The Rangers will send the results of the MRI to Dr. Lewis Yocum for a second opinion. Poveda, who was signed in 2004, spent the majority of 2009 at Frisco. He went 11-5 in 22 starts for the Roughriders.
