Game day has arrived for the Texas Rangers, who will travel to Mesa for their Cactus League opener against the Chicago Cubs and will actually take players who people know.
Here are the lineup and pitching probables:
Lineup: Delino DeShields, cf; Rougned Odor, dh; Jurickson Profar, ss; Nomar Mazara, rf; Ronald Guzman, 1b; Drew Robinson, lf; Brett Nicholas, c; Christian Lopes, 3b; Hanser Alberto, 2b.
Pitchers: RHPs Clayton Blackburn, Austin Bibens-Dirkx, Adrian Sampson, Jose Leclerc, Connor Sadzeck, Deolis Guerra.
Willie Calhoun will travel with the club and will replace Robinson, likely after two at-bats. For those who like to read into things, well, read away, but do so knowing that the Saturday roles could very well swap in the near future.
