Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting behind the plate on Wednesday, so Chirinos will take the night off. Kiner-Falefa is hitting out of the eighth spot against right-hander Jakob Junis.
Our models project Chirinos for a .228 batting average with 12 home runs, 30 runs scored, and 29 RBI over 237 plate appearances remaining this season.
