ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis will miss the rest of the season because of a torn flexor tendon in his right elbow.
Lewis was evaluated by team physician Dr. Keith Meister before Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox and elected to have surgery. Meister will perform the operation this week and Lewis is expected to be sidelined for nine to 12 months.
''It's a disappointment,'' he said. ''Not only to me, but to my family, my teammates and the organization.''
Texas manager Ron Washington called Lewis the team's ''anchor.''
''You always knew what you'd get when you put Colby Lewis out there, and it's usually pretty great,'' Washington said.
Lewis is 6-6 with a 3.43 ERA in 16 starts this season. The right-hander has been a key member of a steady rotation that's helped Texas win consecutive AL pennants the past two years. He is 4-1 with a 2.34 ERA in eight postseason starts.
The Rangers put Lewis on the disabled list Monday and recalled rookie left-hander Martin Perez.
