Kevin Millwood #33 of the Texas Rangers

Rangers right-hander Kevin Millwood's scheduled start Sunday has been pushed back because of a strained gluteus muscle.

Scott Feldman will take Millwood's turn against the Seattle Mariners on three days' rest.

Feldman lasted only 2 1-3 innings in his outing Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, so Rangers manager Ron Washington elected to bring the right-hander back after an abbreviated break.

Millwood has not pitched since he left his last start July 26 against Kansas City after two innings because of the injury.

Also, second baseman Ian Kinsler (strained left hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for a fourth straight game.
