Calhoun was placed on the injured list Sunday with a fracture of the ulna bone in his left forearm.
EDGE Analysis
The move comes as no surprise as it was reported Saturday that Calhoun had suffered a fracture in his forearm. A recovery timeline hasn't been disclosed at this point for the outfielder, but he figures to be out through most of July at a minimum. Outfielder Jason Martin was recalled in a corresponding roster move.

Calhoun has been diagnosed with a left forearm fracture, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun initially stayed in Saturday's game after being hit on the arm by a pitch in the bottom of the second inning. He exited an inning later and it now looks like he could be in line for an extended absence. The Rangers will likely provide a concrete timeline in the coming days, but the outfielder seems likely to be out at least through most of July.

Calhoun is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Someone has to sit due to the lack of a designated hitter with the game being played under National League rules, and that will be Calhoun this time around. He'll hit the bench after making 15 straight starts, a stretch in which he struggled to a .207/.270/.379 line. Khris Davis starts in left field for just the second time this season in his absence.

Calhoun is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros after fouling a ball off his ankle Saturday night, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The extent of the injury is uncertain. Calhoun could probably use a day to sit back and observe anyway, as he's in the midst of a 1-for-17 stretch. Khris Davis will serve as the designated hitter against right-hander Lance McCullers.
