Rangers' Jonathan Lucroy: Not in Friday's lineup

Lucroy is out of the lineup for the series opener against the Astros on Friday.

Analysis:

This marks Lucroy's first day off since joining the Rangers, having started the past three games behind the plate. He has gone 2-for-10 with a home run and two RBI, but will get some rest in favor of Robinson Chirinos on Friday. Lucroy will likely be back in the lineup for Saturday's contest.
