Teres major and also the lats on many active people can become overly restricted.  It's not uncommon to see people who have developed movement behaviors  that find them over using their lats and teres and consequently they struggle to shut them off at the appropriate times. For these people especially and also anyone regularly working overhead or doing a lot of pullups and things like that, it's an important part of neuromuscular reeducation to be able to tone down the overworking muscles and reintegrate a more balanced overall system. Utilizing foam rolling for the lats and in this case a little more pinpoint accuracy for the teres is a big step towards shoulder health.  As long as your're already mobilizing that general posterior area prior to training it's not a bad idea to give some attention to the Infraspinatus as well.  Don't neglect caring for and training your entire rotator cuff muscle group. For most people it would be particularly beneficial to include more external rotation work into their training plans.
