Texas Rangers outfielder Dustin Harris was originally in the lineup for today’s Cactus League matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers in Surprise. However, Harris has been scratched with what has been described as oblique soreness, and Sandro Fabian is taking his place in the lineup.
This is a normal part of spring — particularly the early spring — as players deal with various aches, pains, twinges, tweaks, and sorenesses as they return to game action after the offseason. Harris is on the 40 man roster, but he’s not in the mix for the Opening Day roster, so this isn’t something that would impact the major league team for the start of the season.
