Forsythe (back) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Rangers, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
While Forsythe was able to field groundballs on the turf during pregame drills he did not gain clearance to start Friday. It will mark his third consecutive absence, but there has been nothing to suggest Forsythe is in any immediate danger of landing on the DL. Tim Beckham will man second base Friday as Mikie Mahtook leads off.
