Andy Ibanez idle Thursday for Rangers
Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez 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:
Josh Smith (wrist) is replacing Ibanez on the hot corner and hitting leadoff. Marcus Semien is hitting second after leading off Wednesday.
numberFire’s models project Smith for 8.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, 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.
