Texas' Robinson Chirinos not in Friday's starting lineup

Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos will head to the bench for Friday's matchup with the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

While Chirinos plays from the bench, Jonathan Lucroy gets the start and will bat seventh in the Rangers' lineup.

Chirinos went 3-for-4 with a home run yesterday, which brings his total to 9 homers with a .382 wOBA on the year. He's projected for 6 more longballs the rest of this season.
