Forsythe (back) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Forsythe was set to take some swings Saturday afternoon before the Rays made a decision on his status. However, the Rays posted their lineup shortly after announcing Forsythe's plans to hit in the cage, so it was quickly apparent that he wasn't ready for game action. Tim Beckham will take over at second base in Forsythe's absence Saturday.
