Impact Calhoun was not in Thursday's starting nine, but he did record a single in two at-bats off the bench. He'll begin Friday's game on the bench once again with Baltimore sending lefty Alexander Wells to the bump. Nick Solak draws the start at second base, moving Andy Ibanez to designated hitter.

Not starting Thursday Calhoun isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Removed for pinch hitter Calhoun went 1-for-1 with a walk before being removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning of Saturday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact Calhoun is a career .233 hitter (.687 OPS) against left-handers and was removed once White Sox southpaw Garret Crochet entered the game. The Rangers have always been cognizant of Calhoun's splits and will continue to be as they evaluate him for a spot on the 2022 roster. His defense isn't considered everyday worthy, so it's vital that Calhoun hit consistently regardless of an opponent's throwing hand.

Knocks pair of hits in return Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Astros.

Impact Calhoun was activated off the 60-day injured list prior to the game after missing months with a fractured forearm. He'll get a 17-game run at the end of the season to prove he has a future with the Rangers, who must decide to keep him on the 40-man roster by tendering him a contract during the offseason. The salary increase is not exorbitant, but the organization must determine if he's a fit on the roster going forward. Calhoun appeared to be a long-term piece in 2019, when hit 21 home runs with an .847 OPS over 337 plate appearances, but he's been set back by injuries and poor hitting since. As a defensively challenged outfielder, Calhoun must hit to have a role. That means designated hitter is the likely role, but the Rangers are evaluating others, including Yohel Pozo, during the final weeks and may not want to carry two DH types.

Impact Calhoun will be making his first appearance for the Rangers since June 26 after he was sidelined for nearly three months while recovering from left forearm surgery. He recently wrapped up a seven-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Round Rock, going 6-for-23 with a home run and four walks. Calhoun will likely fill a near-everyday role for the rest of the season as he looks to build a case for Texas to tender him a contract this offseason, when he'll be arbitration eligible for the first time.
