Rua has been on the shelf since the end of July due to back spasms. He's scheduled to play five innings in the outfield in his first game for the Rough Riders.

Rangers' Ryan Rua: Replaces Gallo on Sunday
Rua entered Sunday's game for the injured Joey Gallo (ankle) and homered in his lone at-bat in a 5-0 win over the Indians.
Gallo left with an ankle injury, describing the pain as worse than usual, per Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. Manager Jeff Banister said Gallo was removed as a precaution and is day-to-day. Rua, who is hitting just .195 this season with six home runs in 118 at-bats, is first in line for the start if Gallo's forced to sit out Monday's game against Oakland.

Rangers' Ryan Rua: Late addition to Friday's lineup
Rua started in left field and went 1-for-2 in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.
Rua was a late addition to the lineup after Joey Gallo was scratched with a left eye contusion. Gallo, the Rangers' primary left fielder, was injured when he collided with teammate Delino DeShields before the game. Rua has appeared in eight of the nine games since he was called up from Triple-A Round Rock, hitting .333 with two home runs and two RBI during that stretch. When Gallo returns, Rua will go back to being a fourth outfielder.

Rangers' Ryan Rua: Collects three hits Sunday
Rua went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the White Sox.
This was just the second multi-hit game for Rua, who has started three of the past four games, going 5-for-12 during those starts with two home runs and three runs scored. Despite the mini-run, the outfielder is batting just .192 and is the expected roster casualty when Ronald Guzman (concussion) is ready to return, which could come as soon as Tuesday.

Rangers' Ryan Rua: Homers before being tossed
Rua went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday against the White Sox.
Rua took left-hander Carlos Rodon deep in the bottom of the fifth inning for his fourth home run of the season. He was later ejected in the seventh inning for arguing a strike call. This was a rare start for Rua, and he has also spent significant chunks of the season at Triple-A Round Rock. That makes him a difficult option to trust, even in deeper formats.
