The Rangers have optioned Winston Santos and recalled right handed pitcher Gavin Collyer for the final, probably futile, push for the playoffs.

Aggressive bullpen usage wasn't enough to keep the Rangers in the game last night and the ultimately fell 7-2 to the mets, leaving them 1.5 games behind Houston for the AL West title and 3 games behind the White Sox for the last wild card spot.

Skip Schumaker has got a lot of plates spinning trying to manage the Rangers' pitching staff.
