Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara is not in the lineup Thursday against the San Diego Padres.
This will be the third time in the last five games that Mazara was held out of the starting lineup. Shin-Soo Choo is starting in right field and leading off for Texas versus lefty Clayton Richard and the Padres.
Mazara's production has regressed a bit from last season, as he's slashing .234/.304/.395 with a .301 wOBA in 138 plate appearances (PA). In 2016, he hit .266/.320/.419 with a .318 wOBA across 568 PA.
