Adrian Beltre out for Rangers on Wednesday

Texas Rangers third baseman/designated hitter Adrian Beltre is not starting on Wednesday against the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

The Rangers have officially been eliminated from postseason contention, so they're going to take it easy with the 38-year-old veteran. Drew Robinson will man the hot corner for Texas while Shin-Soo Choo handles DH duties on Wednesday versus Astros right-hander Justin Verlander.

Beltre owns a .311/.382/.533 slash and .915 OPS with 17 home runs and 71 RBI across 387 plate appearances (93 games) this season. He's averaging 11.5 FanDuel points per game in 2017.
