Charlie Culberson News
The Texas Rangers are re-signing infielder Charlie Culberson to a minor league deal on Wednesday, according to a source. He'll give the Rangers some infield insurance after he killed left-handed pitching in 2021. Culberson hit .243 with five home runs, 23 runs scored, 23 RBI and seven stolen bases in 91 plate appearances for Texas, but he went 46-for-133 (.346 batting average) with four of his five home runs against southpaws. The 32-year-old will battle for an Opening Day roster spot this spring, but both he and the recently signed Brad Miller should help make up for the loss of shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was traded to the Minnesota Twins last week. Andy Ibanez, Miller and Culberson could compete for at-bats all year at the hot corner.
Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson surprisingly provided the power for this lineup during Monday's contest. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the fifth inning of what ended up being a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees. This was Culberson's fifth home run on the season, but he is not a player known for his power. He is mainly a veteran infielder used off the bench and can be avoided in all fantasy formats.
The Texas Rangers activated third baseman Charlie Culberson from the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday. He is starting at third base and batting seventh in Wednesday's game against Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies. Culberson was out for about 10 days while suffering from symptoms of COVID-19. He was heating up before hitting the injured list. He slashed .400/.438/.533 over 12 games in August. Expect to see him in the Rangers' starting lineup more often than not going forward. Yonny Hernandez and Ryan Dorow should see their playing time decrease as a result of Culberson's activation.
