Holaday, who hasn't played since Sept. 10, is expected to start Sunday, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday is one of four catchers on the roster, so there will be little opportunity for him in the final two weeks. Boston's top two catchers -- Sandy Leon and Ryan Hanigan -- will get most of the starts from here on out.

Holaday (thumb) was added to the roster Saturday, prior to Boston's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday has been out for the past couple weeks with a thumb injury, and recently joined the Red Sox after getting claimed off waivers Friday. He will take the roster spot of catcher Ryan Hanigan, who was placed on the DL with a left ankle injury. Holaday figures to get a couple starts a week behind Sandy Leon.

Holaday (thumb) is expected to join the Red Sox on Saturday, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday was claimed off waivers by Boston on Friday and fills an immediate need after the Red Sox placed Ryan Hanigan on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his left ankle. Holaday has been rehabbing a thumb injury and is eligible to be activated from the disabled list, something that will likely occur Saturday before the Red Sox and Dodgers begin their afternoon game in Los Angeles. The 28-year-old catcher has ties to Red Sox president of baseball operation Dave Dombrowski, who drafted Holaday in 2010 when he was with the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday was DFA'd by the Rangers on Monday in order to make room for the recently acquired Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress. The catcher has been recovering from a bruised thumb and should be activated by the Red Sox shortly after playing a couple more minor league games. Holaday has posted a .238 batting average with two home runs and 13 RBI over the course of 84 at-bats this season, but could wind up with the big league club down the stretch, especially if Ryan Hanigan or Sandy Leon go down with an injury.

Holaday (thumb) was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With the addition of Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress, the Rangers needed to free up space on the 40-man roster. If Holaday clears waivers, he'll likely hang around with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate as organizational depth behind the plate for the final two months of the season.

Holaday (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment Monday at Triple-A Round Rock, MLB.com's TR Sullivan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday seems to be recovering well from a bruised thumb and figures to play at least a few games at Triple-A before he's activated from the DL. Even if his activation happens Friday when first eligible, there's no guarantee that Holaday will return to the big-league roster since he's not a clear upgrade over either Robinson Chirinos or Bobby Wilson.

Holaday was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a bruised left thumb, Rangers Executive VP of Communications John Blake reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday has shown limited upside for the Rangers this season, hitting just .238 with just two home runs in 84 at-bats. The Rangers will now go with Robinson Chirinos and Bobby Wilson at catcher for the foreseeable future.

Holaday went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Just because he usually bats ninth in the batting order, that doesn't mean Holaday isn't a dangerous hitter when he gets playing time. The 28-year-old catcher owns a respectable .451 slugging percentage, and has seven extra-base hits in his last eight appearances. Don't foget about him amid the talented Rangers lineup.

Holaday hit his first home run as part of a 3-for-4 game with two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers have been alternating between Holaday and Bobby Wilson behind the plate since Robinson Chirinos went on the disabled list, and neither has proven the hotter hand over that time. Holaday's home run Tuesday night matches one from Wilson on Sunday, and as long as both are producing, it's hard to imagine one or the other will take the lion's share of the at-bats. Holaday still owns a meager .220/.291/.360 line even after the big game Tuesday.

Holaday is not in the lineup Monday for the second straight day.

EDGE Analysis

Holaday and Bobby Wilson have alternated the starts behind the plate since last Wednesday, but Wilson earned himself a second consecutive start by going 3-for-4 with a home run Sunday. The two figure to continue sharing the catching duties moving forward.
