Gimenez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gimenez had started the last three games behind the plate, so for the time being, he currently looks to be the Indians' preferred option in the catching timeshare with Roberto Perez, who will start Sunday. The Indians have been looking to upgrade the position as Monday's non-waiver trade deadline approaches, but after Brewers backstop Jonathan Lucroy invoked his no-trade clause to nix a potential deal, it wouldn't be surprising if the Tribe chooses to stand pat until No. 1 catcher Yan Gomes (shoulder) returns from the DL, potentially in mid-August.

Gimenez hit his second home run, a solo shot, in a 2-for-4 game Tuesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

This was Gimenez's first home run scine his first appearance of the season on May 5 against Detroit. He is playing sparingly thus far and has played in consecutive games just twice all season. Starter Yan Gomes has just a .570 OPS, but Gimenez's .231/.259/.462 line probably isn't enough to work his way into the top spot on the depth chart.

Gimenez is in the lineup and batting ninth for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Gimenez, who was acquired from the Rangers in a trade Wednesday, will get a start to give Yan Gomes the day off. The 33-year-old is making his season debut after dealing with an injured ankle to start the season.

Gimenez was traded to the Indians on Wednesday for cash considerations, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After designating Gimenez for assignment Tuesday, the Rangers were able to find a trade partner to get something in return for the veteran catcher. Gimenez has not played yet this season due to an infected ankle, but he has played in minor league games as part of his rehab assignment. The Indians DFA'd fellow catcher Adam Moore to clear a spot on the roster for Gimenez, so it's clear that they intend on him serving as Yan Gomes' backup behind the plate.

Gimenez (ankle) was designated for assignment Tuesday, Rangers VP of Comm. John Blake reports.

EDGE Analysis

Texas acquired fellow catcher Bobby Wilson from Detroit on Tuesday, so they had to make a corresponding move to clear space on the club's 40-man roster. Gimenez has been battling an infection in his ankle since before the start of the season but has since begun a rehab assignment. With the depth behind the plate at the major league level, it's possible Gimenez remains in the minors even when he's healthy enough to return.

Gimenez had his rehab assignment transferred to Double-A Frisco on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gimenez got through an extended spring training game successfully Sunday, so now he'll start the portion of his rehab that includes minor league games. He'll likely remain in Frisco for a few games prior to returning to Texas, where he'll likely battle for starting catcher reps with Bryan Holaday.

Gimenez (ankle) caught three innings in an extended spring training game Saturday and doubled twice in his four at-bats, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gimenez is expected to move his rehab to Double-A Frisco this week, where he'll likely remain for a few games before rejoining the Rangers. Once activated from the DL, Gimenez figures to replace Brett Nicholas on the 25-man roster and compete for at-bats with Bryan Holaday at catcher.

Gimenez (ankle) could begin a rehab stint with Double-A Frisco on Monday, TR Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gimenez has been sidelined since the end of spring training with an infection in his ankle, but it appears as though things have improved. The catcher will likely require a few rehab games under his belt before the club feels comfortable enough to activate him, so a return before the end of the month seems unlikely. Bryan Holaday and Brett Nicholas figure to continue filling in behind the plate in Gimenez's absence.

Gimenez (ankle) has resumed throwing and his left leg infection is improving, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gimenez has been on the disabled list since the start of the season due to an infection in his ankle. As of Monday, Gimenez was within a week of starting to swing a bat again, but that has not happened to this point. While it's encouraging the the ankle infection is dissipating, he'll need to log a few batting practice sessions before setting out on a rehab assignment. Gimenez won't likely be ready to return until May, which leaves Bryan Holaday and Brett Nicholas as the Rangers' primary catching options in the interim.
