Jonathan Lucroy

Rangers' Jonathan Lucroy getting a day off Friday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonathan Lucroy is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

This will be Lucroy's first day off since joining his new team. Robinson Chirinos -- and his .315 wOBA this season -- will get the start behind the plate on Friday.

Lucroy has two hits in his first 11 plate appearances with the Rangers, but one of them was a home run. He's slashing .296/.357/.483 with 14 home runs and a .356 wOBA in 387 plate appearances with the Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers this season. Our models project Lucroy to have some modest regression in Texas down the stretch, with a .333 wOBA, five homers and 24 RBI's remaining this season.
