Rangers' Justin Foscue: Sitting in third straight game
Justin Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.Foscue had an opportunity to pick up regular at-bats after Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the injured list last week, but the Texas Rangers have seemingly pulled the plug on the rookie. He'll hit the bench for the third game in a row while Ezequiel Duran has emerged as the preferred option for the lineup spot vacated by Seager.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Not starting against righty
Justin Foscue is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.Though he was deployed at designated hitter both of the past two days when the Angels sent left-handed starters to the hill, the right-handed-hitting Foscue will hit the bench for a fourth straight matchup with a right-hander (Caden Dana). Even with the recent move of Corey Seager (hip) to the injured list opening up a spot in Texas' everyday lineup versus righties, the Texas Rangers seem inclined to rotate a number of players at DH rather than committing to Foscue in a full-time role.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Starts at first base
Justin Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over Oakland.While the Texas Rangers have not yet been eliminated from the postseason, the club faces a long haul -- 9.5 games back of the third wild-card spot -- over the final month. That suggests opportunities for prospects like Foscue, who could get some run at first base ahead of Nathaniel Lowe, whose contract expires this offseason.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Back in big leagues
The Texas Rangers recalled Justin Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.Foscue went just 1-for-17 with seven strikeouts during his most recent stint in the majors in late July. However, he's bounced back nicely since then, putting up a .964 OPS alongside six homers and 18 RBI across 117 plate appearances in Triple-A. He'll have a hard time carving out playing time behind Marcus Semien and Josh Smith, though he could be used occasionally as a designated hitter against left-handers.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Heads back to minors
The Texas Rangers optioned Justin Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.Foscue had already been withheld from the lineup in each of the Rangers' last four matchups against right-handed pitching, and his outlook for playing time was only going to worsen with Josh Jung (wrist) returning from the 60-day injured list Monday. As a result, Texas will send the 25-year-old back to Triple-A to receive everyday at-bats. Foscue struggled to produce at the plate during his week-long stint with the big club, going 1-for-17 with a double and seven strikeouts over his five starts as Texas' designated hitter.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Hitting bench Wednesday
Justin Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.Travis Jankowski will get the nod at designated hitter Wednesday after Foscue went 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts while serving as Texas' DH in each of the past four contests. Even if Foscue shows improvement at the plate in his subsequent starting opportunities, it may not be enough to guarantee him an extended stay with the big club. Josh Jung (wrist) is restarting his rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Frisco, and Foscue will be the player most at risk of losing out on regular playing time once Jung is activated from the 60-day injured list.
