Texas Rangers infielder Michael Young is sidelined with a stiff back.

Young was not in the lineup for Wednesday night's game at Boston.

Manager Ron Washington said it was a precautionary move and that Young would probably play Thursday against Detroit.

Young had one of the Rangers' six homers in an 18-3 win over Boston on Tuesday night. He's hitting .356 with two homers and 10 RBIs.
