Texas Rangers Sunday lineup: Joey Gallo sits

After mashing two long home runs yesterday, Joey Gallo gets today off against Boston lefty Chris Sale

MLB: Boston Red Sox at Texas Rangers Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

The Texas Rangers look to split their series against the Boston Red Sox this afternoon, and with lefthander Chris Sale going for the BoSox, Jeff Banister is rolling with a righty-heavy lineup that has Joey Gallo on the bench.

Gallo had two long home runs yesterday, but he is appeared in every game so far this season, and with lefthander Chris Sale going for the BoSox, Banister appears to view this as a good opportunity to get him a rest day. Gallo is 1 for 9 with 6 Ks in his career against Sale.

The lineup:

DeShields — CF

Choo — DH

Kiner-Falefa — 2B

Mazara -- RF

Profar — SS

Nunez — 3B

Rua -- LF

Guzman — 1B

Perez — C

Doug Fister starts for Texas.
