ARLINGTON -- Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre is not in the lineup for Game 4 of the American League Division Series against Toronto on Monday. Beltre remains sidelined with a strained lower back, and rookie Hanser Alberto is starting his third game at third base.
Beltre continues to show some improvement, but swinging a bat is a challenge and running appears to be the biggest obstacle. The Rangers are still not ready to make a move to replace him on the roster.
