Mathis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Mathis will sit for the second time in the series while Tim Federowicz gets another turn behind the plate. It's still expected that Mathis will command the larger portion of a timeshare at catcher until Isiah Kiner-Falefa (finger) returns from the 10-day injured list and likely bumps Federowicz off the active roster.

Mathis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, Mathis will sit in favor of Tim Federowicz for the series finale. Following Isiah Kiner-Falefa's (finger) move to the 10-day injured list earlier in the weekend, Mathis is projected to serve as the Rangers' primary backstop for at least the next week.

Mathis started and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's loss to Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers placed Isiah Kiner-Falefa (finger) on the injured list Friday, which moves Mathis to the top spot on the depth chart. Texas also acquired Tim Federowicz from the Indians on Friday, and he'll serve as the backup catcher. Mathis should be the primary starter, but his bat is not very appealing. After his hitless night Friday, Mathis is batting just .146 for the season.
