Nomar Mazara sitting out Rangers' Friday game

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara out of Friday's starting lineup.

What It Means:

There's no injury to report here, just a rest day for the young star. Shin-Soo Choo is covering right field, and Jonathan Lucroy slides into the DH role to cover for Mazara.

Our models project Mazara to hit .271 with 11 home runs, 40 runs, and 42 RBI, with 353 plate appearances the rest of the way in 2017.
