Rangers could delay Rich Harden's next start

"Rangers manager Ron Washington has yet to decide who will start the series finale against Boston on Sunday, but did say he would probably know today whether it would be C.J. Wilson, who started Tuesday against the Yankees, or Rich Harden.

As the Rangers' rotation stands, Harden's next start would have come Saturday. But Washington has penciled Colby Lewis into that start, or at least he's done so on the dry-erase board in his office.

"Harden has been pushed back one day at least," Washington said. "I just want to get Colby in there. It will be six days for Colby [who last started on Sunday in Oakland]."

Harden (4-4, 5.45 in 14 starts) last pitched Saturday in Oakland, where he was pulled after 2 1/3 innings after walking five and giving up three earned runs on two hits. Wilson would be pitching on regular rest.

Cliff Lee, who's scheduled to start today against New York, is already penciled in to pitch Monday in the first of three games against Tampa Bay. So it's possible Harden's next start won't come until Tuesday. "
