Still out Saturday Higashioka (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Saturday marks the third consecutive start Higashioka will miss since he strained his hamstring during Tuesday's contest. Manager Bruce Bochy previously said he was hopeful the 35-year-old catcher could avoid a trip to the injured list, though that may change if his absence extends another couple of games. Jonah Heim will draw another start behind the plate and bat ninth Saturday.

Impact Higashioka's hamstring forced him to make an early exit from Tuesday's game. Despite the backstop's diagnosis, manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that he's hopeful Higashioka can avoid spending time on the injured list. Jonah Heim will start behind the plate in Wednesday's series finale and will likely continue to do so until Higashioka recovers.

Semien's 250th career homer highlights Rangers' 5-1 victory over AL West-leading Astros

Marcus Semien hit his 250th career home run as the Texas Rangers defeat the Houston Astros 5-1 on Sunday
JULY 13, 2025 • Associated Press
Forces extras Saturday Higashioka went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Astros.
Impact Higashioka didn't do much, but he delivered a game-tying homer in the ninth inning off Josh Hader to force extras. Higashioka has warmed up at the plate in July, going 9-for-27 (.333) with three homers and nine RBI over seven games this month. That's earning him more playing time behind the dish while Jonah Heim has been able to rest his legs more often as the designated hitter. Based on his career performance, this surge is likely to be temporary for Higashioka. He's now at a .235/.290/.358 slash line with four homers, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and one stolen base through 176 plate appearances this season.

Comes alive against former club Higashioka went 3-for-3 with a home run, five RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-4 victory versus San Diego.
Impact Higashioka played for the Padres last season and recorded career highs with 17 homers and 45 RBI. He hadn't been able to carry that production over to Texas, as the veteran backstop came into Saturday with just one homer and 16 RBI across 44 games. Higashioka tormented his former club, though, swatting a two-run homer in the third inning before adding an RBI single in the fourth and eighth frames sandwiched around a sacrifice fly in the sixth. For good measure, the catcher swiped a bag in the eighth inning, marking his first theft as a Ranger and just his third over his nine big-league campaigns. Higashioka boosted his season OPS nearly 50 points from .573 to .621, but that's still well below the .739 mark he registered last year.
