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.
