Andy Dirks will start in place of Delmon Young (oblique) in left field for Game 3 of the ALCS against the Rangers on Tuesday night. Young was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to continued issues with his recent oblique injury. Dirks, a left-handed hitter, is 0-for-2 during the postseason and batted .251/.296/.406 with seven homers, 28 RBI and a .703 OPS over 235 plate appearances during the regular season.
