EDGE Analysis

Calhoun went 1-for-3 in Saturday's 2-0 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Calhoun delivered just his fourth base hit -- a 106.8 mph single -- over 29 at-bats and is slashing .138/.286/.310, but looking deeper, he deserves better results. His expected rates in average (.263), weighted on-base (.369) and slugging (.452) tell a different story. Calhoun's .120 BABIP is playing a role, but he's also proven to be a more patient hitter in 2022. His 17.1 BB% and 8.6 K% are upper echelon.

EDGE Analysis

Calhoun isn't starting Friday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Calhoun will get a day off in Friday's matchup since left-hander Reid Detmers is on the mound for the Angels. Nick Solak will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh.

Calhoun started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Calhoun was having a good night against right-handed starter Shohei Ohtani but was removed for a pinch hitter in the fifth inning, after the Angels brought in lefty reliever Brian Moran. It seemed harsh with the Rangers leading 8-2 at the time, but Texas manager Chris Woodward has always been aggressive with matchups and is in the habit of limiting Calhoun's exposure to lefties. That's something to consider when making out daily fantasy lineups.

Calhoun came off the bench Monday against the Rockies and went 1-for-1 with a home run as a pinch hitter.

EDGE Analysis

Calhoun couldn't have gone yard at a better time for the Rangers, as he launched his solo shot to right field with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. His efforts were not enough to lift Texas to victory, however, as the Rockies still closed the game out in extras. Calhoun has not started against southpaws this season, but he should be back into the starting lineup when the Rangers face a righty -- which could be the case Tuesday in the second game of the series against Colorado, as Chad Kuhl is expected to take the mound.

Calhoun is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rangers facing a southpaw starter (Austin Gomber) for the second straight day, the lefty-hitting Calhoun will head to the bench once again. Andy Ibanez will handle designated-hitter duties while Calhoun sits.
