The Texas Rangers kick off a two game home series against the Houston Astros today, and with lefty Dallas Keuchel on the mound, Joey Gallo and Jurickson Profar are both on the bench. Interestingly, though no official move has been announced, Ronald Guzman is in the lineup, as is Ryan Rua, the player expected to be sent down when Guzman returned from the d.l.
The lineup:
Choo — DH
Elvis — SS
Mazara — RF
Beltre — 3B
Odor — 2B
Rua — LF
Chirinos — C
Guzman — 1B
DeShields — CF
Austin Bibens-Dirkx starts for Texas.
UPDATE — Sounds like something is up with Chris Martin:
Chris Martin just left clubhouse with his bag and in street clothes. So there is that.
