ARLINGTON -- The Rangers remain unsettled on a starter for Monday at the New York Yankees.

Left-hander Cole Hamels will receive an extra day of rest and start on Tuesday. Hamels is 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA for three starts with five days rest this season.

That leaves the Rangers looking for a starter for the series-opener. Manager Jeff Banister said the club is considering “a couple of guys” but is not ready to make a decision.

The schedule makes veteran right-hander Kyle Lohse an unlikely possibility. Lohse would have only three days rest after throwing 101 pitches in five innings with Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez’s turn with Round Rock comes up on Saturday. If Gonzalez does not pitch, he would seem to be the leading candidate for the start. Gonzalez is 2-0 with a 3.46 ERA for his last three starts.

BRIEFLY: Reliever Keone Kela threw off a mound for the first time since undergoing surgery in April to repair an impingement in the right elbow. He is scheduled to throw under simulated game conditions during next week’s series at the New York Yankees. ... The Rangers on Saturday will face Boston knuckleballer Steven Wright, who leads the American League in ERA at 2.01. The position players have one single in 12 at-bats against Wright.

Manager Jeff Banister, coaches and players submitted their choices for the American League All-Star team. They could not vote for anyone on the club.
