The Texas Rangers plan to give pitcher Cliff Lee more rest in between starts in the final month of the season. Lee has really struggled of late for the Rangers, going 0-3 with a 9.33 ERA in his past three outings.

They will need the ace of their staff to actually pitch like it when the playoffs roll around in October.
