"Dominican Republic manager Ken Oberkfell held Texas Rangers outfielder Julio Borbon out of the lineup against Puerto Rico lefthander Bobby Livingston for Saturday night's game in the Caribe Series in Santo Domingo, D.R.

Borbon, a left-handed hitter, went hitless in his first six at-bats in the Caribe Series after a strong showing in the championship round of the Dominican playoffs. Livingston has made 13 major-league appearances, with Cincinnati and Seattle. "
