The Texas Rangers kick off a big four game set at home against the Mariners tonight, and their lineup includes Rougned Odor at second base. Odor left yesterday’s game with a sprained ankle suffered in a collision with Nomar Mazara pursuing a pop up, and it looked like he was going to miss some time — but no, he’s in the lineup and hitting eighth.
The lineup:
DeShields — CF
Choo — RF
Elvis — SS
Chirinos — C
Gallo — 1B
Middlebrooks — 3B
Odor — 2B
Rua — LF
Cole Hamels is on the mound for Texas, going up against Seattle lefty Ariel Miranda.
