ARLINGTON, Texas– The Rangers contemplate heading into the three-week run-up to the All-Star break, which will likely to determine the ultimate direction the season takes, without a No. 5 starter.
A polite suggestion: They better make sure they have a No. 4 first.
Right-hander Glenn Otto returned to that role Sunday after missing nearly three weeks due to COVID protocols and lasted only two innings in a 6-4 loss to Washington. The Rangers scored eight runs over three games in dropping two of three to Washington, a team that entered the series 22 games below .500 and allowing more runs per game than any team in the majors.
