Manager Ron Washington had planned to give Elvis Andrus a break today by using him as the designated hitter with a day game scheduled for Sunday.
But Washington didn't insert Jurickson Profar, called up earlier in the day, in the lineup at shortstop. Instead, he went with Michael Young.
"I already had it planned out," Washington said.
