Continued soreness in his left wrist forced the Texas Rangers to scratch catcher Robinson Chirinos from the starting lineup Wednesday for the finale of a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers.
Chirinos was originally injured last month at Tampa Bay applying a tag on a play at the plate. Though the injury had lingered for three weeks, the Rangers don't believe Chirinos is a candidate for the 10-day disabled list.
"There's always concern with these guys with recurring, persistent-type soreness," manager Jeff Banister said. "He was out yesterday. He'll be out tomorrow. Obviously, off tomorrow.
