Pirates' John Jaso: Absent from Friday's lineup
Jaso is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis:
With left-hander Cole Hamels taking the hill for Texas on Friday, Jaso will head to the bench for his second day off in a row. Sean Rodriguez will fill his spot at first base while Jaso rests in anticipation of returning for Saturday's contest, when right-hander Yu Darvish is set to make his season debut for the Rangers.
