Texas Rangers right-hander Brandon Webb has been scratched from a scheduled bullpen session because he was unable to get loosened up to pitch.

Webb was scheduled to throw 60 to 70 pitches in his fourth bullpen session Wednesday. He says he didn't feel any pain in his surgically repaired right shoulder but could feel discomfort at the top of the joint.

Webb has not pitched in the majors since opening day in 2009 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He played long toss instead of the bullpen session and will remain on a long-toss program for the time being.

The Rangers signed the 2006 National League Cy Young Award winner to a one-year contract this offseason.
