The pitching puzzle for the remainder of the year has been mostly sorted out. Lloyd McClendon announced today that James Paxton, Vidal Nuno and Felix Hernandez would start the games in Texas. Roenis Elias is being skipped a turn in the rotation and will make his next start Sept. 22 in Kansas City and Taijuan Walker's next start is very much up in the air.
"He will not make his next start and I am not sure when he will start again," said McClendon. "We will reevaluate after the days off, see where we are and go from there.
