OUSTON (AP) -- Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan is in a Houston hospital undergoing tests on his heart.

The Rangers said in a statement Monday the 64-year-old Ryan is "resting comfortably and reports he is feeling better." He is expected to be released from the hospital in a few days.

Ryan had a double-bypass operation in 2000. Doctors at that time also discovered another, undisclosed condition. The team's news release said the discomfort began while at his home in Georgetown on Sunday morning and "is believed to be a recurrence of the heart condition which he has previously experienced."

Ryan had been expected to join the Rangers in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday night for the start of a three-game series between his AL West-leading club and the Angels, who are in second place, four games back. He was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and to take part in a ceremony inducting Gene Autry, the Angels' late owner, into the team's Hall of Fame.

1. He's OK

HOUSTON (AP)—Test on Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan show no new heart problems for the Hall of Famer pitcher, who is hospitalized in Houston.

The Rangers said in a statement Monday the 64-year-old Ryan “continues to improve” after undergoing a series of precautionary tests. He is expected to be released from the hospital in a day or two.

The Rangers said Ryan has a pre-existing heart condition that will continue being treated with medication. He had a double-bypass operation in 2000 and has a family history of heart disease. He sought treatment after experiencing discomfort Sunday morning while at his home in Georgetown.

Ryan has more no-hitters (seven) and strikeouts (5,714) than any major leaguer in history. He’s been running the Rangers since 2008 and became part-owner last summer.

2. That's good to hear. The guy could really throw some heat. I remember him

being known as "wild", but he become much more of a control pitcher in the second half of his career.
