Mike Napoli (ankle) returns to Rangers' Thursday lineup

Texas Rangers first baseman Mike Napoli is back in the lineup Thursday versus the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Napoli has missed the last three games with discomfort in his right ankle. But an MRI showed no structural damage and Napoli's ready to go for tonight's game. He will hit eighth against Felix Hernandez and field first base. Joey Gallo moves to third and Drew Robinson exits the lineup against Seattle.

In his career against Hernandez, Napoli hits just .182 with 1 home run and 13 strikeouts. Nonetheless, he's projected for 10.5 FanDuel points at $2,700 this evening.
