Willie Calhoun - Page 16 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Set to DH Saturday Calhoun (hip) is scheduled to serve as the designated hitter Saturday against the Rockies, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact The 25-year-old is absent from the Opening Day lineup, but he won't have to wait long before getting his first start of the season. Calhoun suffered the right hip flexor injury July 13, but it doesn't appear he'll begin the season with significant limitations.

Not starting Opening Day Calhoun (hip) is out of the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rockies.

Impact The 25-year-old was never officially ruled out for Opening Day, but it never seemed likely he'd be included in the first starting nine of the season. Manager Chris Woodward previously indicated Calhoun could be available for the second or third game of the series, but until he's officially in a lineup he remains somewhat of a tossup. Regardless, it appears Calhoun won't miss significant time.

More at-bats Monday Calhoun (hip) took five at-bats in a simulated game Monday and is likely to avoid the injured list to start the season, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Calhoun made 10 plate appearances Sunday and Monday, indicating he may be ready for Opening Day or soon thereafter. Texas manager Chris Woodward is unsure Calhoun will be ready to play left field or DH for the opener, but he feels the outfielder could be available for the second or third game of the season. The Rangers want to see him run with intensity before making any decisions, but it looks like Calhoun will not miss much time.

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.

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.

Likely heading to IL Manager Chris Woodward indicated Friday that Calhoun (hip) is likely to begin the season on the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The team had already indicated it was likely the 25-year-old wouldn't be ready for Opening Day, and Woodward said, "I'm going to try to get that date out of his head." Calhoun was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right hip flexor earlier this week, but the injury isn't expected to result in a significant absence.

Raking in camp Heineman went 2-for-3 during Thursday's intrasquad game and is now 14-for-29 with three doubles, a triple and two home runs in summer camp, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Willie Calhoun (hip) doubtful for Opening Day, Heineman's bat puts him in consideration for a spot on the active roster. Nick Solak is expected to start in place of Calhoun in left field, so Heineman, who has experience at every outfield spot, would be a fourth outfielder.
