Brad Miller - Losing work versus righties Miller is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact The lefty-hitting Miller has now started just once in the Rangers' last five games, with three of those four absences from the lineup coming versus right-handed pitchers. The veteran appears to have been displaced as the team's primary designated hitter, with the Rangers instead rotating a number of players between that spot in the lineup while opening up more time in the outfield for the likes of Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith and Bubba Thompson.

Impact Assad was needed for three innings in relief Sunday, so he wasn't going to be available for a few days. He could get stretched back out as a starter with Iowa.
