Nicky Lopez - Losing grip on platoon role Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact The Rangers will keep Lopez on the bench for a fifth consecutive game. Two of his absences from the lineup have come against right-handed pitchers, so the left-handed-hitting Lopez may have lost his grip on a strong-side platoon role in the Texas infield. Lopez's downturn in playing time comes while he's struggled to a .111/.167/.148 slash line over his last 23 games.

Danny Jansen - On bench again Monday Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Since coming off the 60-day injured list last Tuesday, Jansen has yet to start consecutive games behind the plate. Jansen -- who has posted a career-worst .548 OPS over 152 plate appearances on the season -- looks like he could be part of a three-headed timeshare at catcher with Elias Diaz and Logan O'Hoppe.

Elias Díaz - Second straight start Diaz will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the White Sox.

Impact Diaz is earning a second start in a row after homering in Sunday's win over the Angels. It's the first time since Danny Jansen returned from the injured list last week that either he or Diaz has started two straight tilts. Logan O'Hoppe is also on the Rangers' active roster, and the club could continue to rotate the three players in the catcher spot.
