Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins.
Mazara has gone hitless in eight of his last nine games, a span in which he's gone 2-for-31 overall. To be fair, he was probably due for a night off anyway after starting the first 21 games of the season for Texas. Shin-Soo Choo will man right field and hit eighth against left-hander Hector Santiago and the Twins on Wednesday night.
Mazara is slashing .247/.297/.424 in his second year in the majors while recording four home runs and 17 RBI's across 91 plate appearances.
