The Texas Rangers would probably like to have Cliff Lee on the mound as they look to end a four-game losing streak. Scott Feldman, though, will take the ball and try to help them snap out of their funk.
With Lee suffering through a back injury, the AL West-leading Rangers will look to avoid dropping five in a row for the first time since the first month of the season when Feldman faces the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Lee recently got a cortisone shot in his back after going 0-3 with an 8.28 ERA in his last five starts, and the Rangers decided that he wouldn't make his scheduled start Tuesday.
"We're going to err on the side of caution," general manager Jon Daniels told the Rangers' official website.
Feldman (6-9, 5.43) has had a disappointing season after going 17-8 for the Rangers (75-62) last year and was sent to the bullpen shortly after Texas acquired Lee from Seattle prior to the trade deadline.
The right-hander will have a chance to redeem himself as he comes off the disabled list to start against Toronto (71-66). Feldman, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 21 at Baltimore due to a right knee injury, allowed two runs over four innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Feldman's last win as a starter came June 18 at Houston, and he has not started a game since July 24.
