Sam Haggerty News: Remaining on bench Sunday

Haggerty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Though he's on the bench against a right-handed pitcher (Luis Castillo) for the second day in a row, the switch-hitting Haggerty should benefit from an uptick in opportunities with Jake Burger (oblique), Wyatt Langford (oblique) and Joc Pederson (hand) all on the injured list. Alejandro Osuna has been serving as Langford's primary replacement in left field, but Haggerty could get most of the opportunities at designated hitter until the Rangers get healthy. Over his last 10 games, Haggerty has gone 9-for-29 (.310) with two extra-base hits, seven walks, seven runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.
