Projecting the Rangers' starting rotation behind Mike Minor once the season begins

Who follows Minor in the starting rotation?

ME: For the start of the season, I think what is more important than who directly follows Minor is how to the Rangers best space things out for the guys in their rotation who will be somewhat limited while still coming back from Tommy John surgery.

So, while Lance Lynn is this team's second-best starting option, it might be more important for him to pitch Game 3 so that you can slide a TJ patient at No. 2, be able to get him the necessary reinforcements in terms of relief arms, and then be able to get those arms a little break the next night.
