The Rangers activated Calhoun (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports. He'll serve as the Rangers' designated hitter and bat second against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun will be making his first appearance for the Rangers since June 26 after he was sidelined for nearly three months while recovering from left forearm surgery. He recently wrapped up a seven-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Round Rock, going 6-for-23 with a home run and four walks. Calhoun will likely fill a near-everyday role for the rest of the season as he looks to build a case for Texas to tender him a contract this offseason, when he'll be arbitration eligible for the first time.

Calhoun (forearm) will be activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against Houston, independent baseball journalist Jeff Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun began a rehab assignment with the rookie-level ACL Rangers on Sept. 6 and later moved to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. In total, he's gone 6-for-21 with a homer, five RBI and three walks across six minor-league games. Calhoun has been out since fracturing his forearm in late June, and he should get substantial opportunities to play during the final three weeks of the season.

EDGE Analysis
Calhoun moves his rehab from the rookie-level AZL Rangers to Round Rock. He's 6-for-17 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and four runs scored over five games at the Arizona Complex League. The move up to the Express suggests Calhoun could return to Texas by the end of the week.

Calhoun (forearm) went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored for the ACL Rangers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun began a rehab assignment with the Rangers' entry in the Arizona Complex League. The injured outfielder/DH is expected to return before the end of the regular season, at which point he can be evaluated along with recent outfield callups Jason Martin, DJ Peters and Leody Taveras.

Calhoun (forearm) began a rehab assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun has been out since undergoing forearm surgery in late June. He posted a .254/.323/.385 slash line with five homers in 59 games prior to the injury. Given the length of his absence, his rehab assignment probably won't be a short one.

Calhoun (forearm) is slowly gaining strength but is not ready to resume play on the field, Arianna Vedia of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun took batting practice Wednesday and is in good shape, but his left wrist is about 70 percent. "At this point, we are where we are, we can't add games to the end of the season. So, however many games he does play or however many at-bats he does get, we've got to evaluate him based off of that," Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. "That might not be fair, but it is what it is." The Rangers are hopeful he can a couple of weeks worth of plate appearances to see where he's at. The team has filtered in outfield prospects throughout the season, and at this point, Calhoun may have to win a roster spot during spring training 2022.

Calhoun (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The move is simply a procedural one, as Calhoun has been on the IL recovering from left forearm surgery since late June and isn't expected back until mid-September. Yonny Hernandez was selected from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move, filling Calhoun's 40-man roster spot.

Texas general manager John Daniels said Calhoun (forearm) could return during September.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun underwent surgery to repair a fractured forearm June 29 after he was hit by a pitch a few days prior. He had been the Rangers' primary designated hitter at the time of the injury, and that position has been filled by a rotation of players since. David Dahl (against righties) and Andy Ibanez (against lefties) are the players of choice when manager Chris Woodward isn't giving a regular in the field a break.

Calhoun will undergo surgery on his fractured left forearm Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch Saturday against the Royals. The Rangers have yet to specify a timeline for his return, but he'll likely be out for an extended period.
