The Rangers have re-signed veteran right-hander Colby Lewis to a one-year contract worth $6 million, CBS Sports MLB Insider Jon Heyman has confirmed. Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported the deal. The team has not made an official announcement yet.Lewis, 36, went 17-9 with a 4.66 ERA (91 ERA+) in 33 starts and 204 2/3 innings in 2015. 
Injuries have hampered him in recent years -- he did not pitch at all in 2013 due to arm trouble -- but Lewis does have a solid 4.34 ERA (99 ERA+) since returning from Japan in 2010.Staff ace Yu Darvish is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and may or may not be ready for Opening Day. I would expect the Rangers to be a little conservative with him given his importance to the club. Giving him extra rehab time in April is better than risking re-injury.This is the fourth straight offseason the Rangers have re-signed Lewis to a one-year contract.Mike Axisa/CBS Sports
