Rangers scratch Lee from Tuesday start

Baseball Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Texas Rangers have scratched lefty Cliff Lee from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Blue Jays because of a strained muscle in his lower back.

Lee was given an injection to deal with discomfort in his lower back last Wednesday. He was diagnosed with muscular pain and inflammation in the area after complaining of lower back soreness following his start last Tuesday, a 10-9 loss to the Royals.

The 32-year-old was able to throw a bullpen session Sunday with no reported problems. Nevertheless, Rangers' brass has decided to err on the side of caution.

Scott Feldman, currently on the disabled list with a bone bruise in his right knee, is expected to replace Lee on Tuesday.

Lee was just 1-4 with a 6.35 earned run average in seven August starts, including his last time out when Kansas City battered the southpaw for 10 hits and seven runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Since being acquired from Seattle in early July, Lee has gone just 2-5 with a 4.69 ERA in 80 2/3 innings over 11 starts. For the year, he is 10-8 with a 3.37 ERA in 24 starts. That includes seven complete games, one a shutout.
