Mike Napoli, Delino DeShields absent from Rangers' lineup Tuesday
Texas Rangers first baseman Mike Napoli and outfielder Delino DeShield are not in Tuesday's lineup against the San Diego Padres.
Napoli is hitting just .164 (20-for-122) this season, so he'll sit with right-hander Jered Weaver on the mound for San Diego. Ryan Rua is on first for Texas and hitting sixth. Without a designated hitter spot, Nomar Mazara will be in left field and bat third. Shin-Soo Choo is starting in right and leading things off.
The Rangers are currently dead last in numberFire's MLB Team Power Rankings.
