Eli White on Rangers' bench Thursday afternoon

Texas Rangers outfielder Eli White is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Corey Kluber and the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

White is taking a seat after he started the previous six contests. Zach Reks is replacing White in left field and hitting eighth.

numberFire’s models project Reks for 5.3 FanDuel points on Thursday, which currently makes him our lowest-projected hitter, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rangers-Rays game has the second-strongest park factor for hitters on Thursday. Kluber has the second-lowest walk rate this season (4.3%) out of Thursday's listed starters.
