The Texas Rangers did not include Ezequiel Duran in their lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics.
Duran will take Monday evening off as Leody Taveras rejoins the starting lineup in centerfield and bats sixth. Josh Smith will cover third base for Duran and Bubba Thompson will move from centerfield to left field.
Duran has enjoyed nice success since joining the majors this season, batting .257 with 3 home runs, 19 runs, 17 RBI, and 4 stolen bases in his first 148 plate appearances.
