Evan Carter - Taking seat vs. lefty Bubic Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Carter will head to the bench while the Royals send southpaw Kris Bubic to the bump. Though Carter has produced an .860 OPS over 23 games on the season, he's logged just seven of his 75 plate appearances against southpaws, and the Rangers may continue to limit his exposure to same-handed pitching.

Ezequiel Duran - Drawing third straight start Duran will start at designated hitter and bat ninth Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Duran will get a third consecutive start, this time handling a non-defensive role after he filled in at third base for Josh Jung in the previous two contests. Jung is back in the lineup Wednesday, and Josh Smith (hamstring) is expected to be back in the starting nine by the weekend, so Duran appears likely to be headed back to a bench role in the near future.
