WATCH: Rougned Odor Drives a Man in in the 4th

WATCH: Rougned Odor Drives a Man in in the 4th

AUGUST 9, 2020 • Fox Sports

Returns to second base Odor started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Angels.

Impact Odor, who missed games due to an oblique injury, returned Friday as the designated hitter before playing the field Saturday. Whether he remains the daily starter at second base is open to conjecture. He's 0-for-7 with four strikeouts since returning, and his average fell to .097. The Rangers, who have watched Odor endure long slumps over the years, could use either Anderson Tejeda or Nick Solak to share second base.

Out again Wednesday Odor (oblique) is not in the lineup Wednesday at Oakland.

Impact The 26-year-old is dealing with a right oblique issue and hasn't seen game action since exiting Saturday's game. The team hopes Odor will be able to return by Thursday or Friday, but if he remains unavailable he could end up on the injured list. Nick Solak receives another start at the keystone in his place.

Could hit injured list The Rangers are hoping Odor (oblique) can return by Thursday or Friday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Odor, who sat out the previous two games, hit in the cage and threw Tuesday but is still sore. Texas manager Chris Woodward doesn't want to rush him back and is reticent to add him to the injured list. "If we feel he can't play for the next week or so, we will do it. But if he can play at the end of this series or the beginning of the next series, I think we hold off," Woodward said about adding Odor to the IL. Nick Solak has been filling in at second base.

Not starting Sunday Odor (oblique) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Odor was removed early in Saturday's loss with the oblique injury, but the Rangers don't believe he's dealing with a strain and are optimistic he'll avoid a stint on the injured list, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. The injury is significant enough to keep Odor on the bench for the series finale in San Francisco, however, allowing Nick Solak to pick up a start at the keystone.

Injury may not be serious Odor's oblique injury may not be as serious as the Rangers first thought, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Odor, who left Saturday's game with tightness in his right oblique, underwent tests following game that indicate the injury is less serious than anticipated. "He seemed to be better than we anticipated," manager Chris Woodward said. "We don't know if it will be [injured list] but I think we dodged a bullet on missing some significant time, which I was happy about because when he came out I wasn't too optimistic." Nick Solak, who started in left field Saturday, replaced Odor at second base.

Has trouble against lefties Chafin (0-1) was credited with the loss to the Rangers on Wednesday when he gave up three runs on two hits and a walk without retiring a batter.

Impact After racking up two holds in his first three appearances, the left-handed Chafin was brought in to protect another lead with dangerous lefties due up. However, he walked the first batter, Rougned Odor, then served up a game-tying home run to Joey Gallo. Under new rules, the reliever had to stay in the game to face a third batter, and Chafin gave up a double to Todd Frazier, who later came around to score.
