The Rangers again will be without Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre in the finale of a three-game series against the Angels. Manager Ron Washington also has given Mike Napoli a day off, as Geovany Soto catches Yu Darvish, and Ian Kinsler is getting a half-day as the designated hitter. With him not in the field, Jurickson Profar will make his fourth career start, third at second base.
