Safe at home? Social distancing difficult around MLB plates

There is some concern about how safe it will be at home plate with baseball getting ready for a shortened season amid the coronavirus pandemic

JULY 21, 2020 • Associated Press

In lineup Tuesday Chirinos (ankle) will catch and bat seventh in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Rockies, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Chirinos has been dealing with a minor ankle issue for over a week following a home-plate collision in an intrasquad game. The lost practice time could affect his workload early in the season, but he should be able to make the Opening Day roster provided he checks out fine following Tuesday's contest.

JULY 20, 2020 • MLB.COM

Looks on track for Opening Day Chirinos (ankle) said he expects to catch in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Rockies, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Impact Assuming Chirinos' prediction comes to pass and his right ankle responds well to catching, he'll likely be behind the plate when the Rangers open their season Friday verus Colorado. Chirinos missed just under a week worth of workouts before he took four at-bats and caught an inning in Sunday's intrasquad game.

JULY 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets at-bats Sunday Chirinos (ankle) caught one inning and had four at-bats in Sunday's intrasquad game, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact While seeing Chirinos participate in the game is an encouraging sign, he's not out of the woods in terms of being available for Friday's season opener against Colorado. Texas manager Chris Woodward talked about Chirinos and Willie Calhoun (hip), who also took part in Sunday's game. "They are better off than I anticipated," the manager said. "I'm not sure they'll be ready for Opening Day or we would want them ready for Opening Day. But whether it is Opening Day, the second day or the third day, as long as they are ready within the first seven games, we will probably keep them on the roster." While Jeff Mathis provides a wealth of MLB experience, Woodward said earlier in camp he may roll with Jose Trevino as the top backup if Chirinos is unable to open the season.

JULY 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in Sunday's game Calhoun (hip) had five at-bats in Sunday's intrasquad game, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Recent reports indicated Calhoun was likely headed to the injured list, but his appearance in Sunday's game alters that narrative. "They are better off than I anticipated," said manager Chris Woodward, referring to both Calhoun and Robinson Chirinos (ankle), who also took part in the game. "That was a welcome sight to see Chirinos catching and getting some live at-bats. I'm not sure they'll be ready for Opening Day or we would want them ready for Opening Day." If the two players are ready a few days beyond Friday's opener, Woodward said they will likely keep them on the active roster instead of placing them on the injured list.

Returns behind the plate Chirinos (ankle) served as the catcher for Nick Goody during live batting practice Sunday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran backstop's status for Opening Day has been in doubt since he suffered the ankle injury early last week, but he appears to be progressing toward his return. Chirinos is poised to be the Rangers' primary starting catcher this season, though Jeff Mathis would likely step in should he not be ready for Friday's season opener against Colorado.
