ARLINGTON (105.3 THE FAN) — Third baseman Adrian Beltre will return to the Texas Rangers lineup after missing two consecutive games in the AL Division Series.
Beltre did not play since exiting early from the series opener Thursday with a strained lower back.
Beltre wasn't in manager Jeff Banister's initial starting lineup, but took batting practice in the indoor cage Monday morning and did some light running inside as well according to the Rangers.
"Whenever he feels it's right to go, he will be there." Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus said Sunday night following game 3.
The new lineup (and batting order) for the Rangers in ALDS Game 4 is:
DeShields CF
Choo RF
Beltre 3B
Fielder DH
Moreland 1B
Andrus SS
Hamilton LF
Odor 2B
Chirinos C
Texas leads the best-of-five ALDS series 2-1. The Blue Jays have to win Monday to force a deciding Game 5 in Toronto.
