Kole Calhoun News
Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun isn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Colorado Rockies and right-handed starter Jose Urena. Calhoun is hitting .208 with a .266 on-base percentage in 361 plate appearances for Texas this season. He's also collected 11 home runs and a pair of stolen bases. Adolis Garcia will move to right field and bat cleanup with Bubba Thompson starting in left field and hitting ninth. Thompson could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues, given the matchup in Colorado. The 24-year-old is batting .255 with a .305 on-base percentage and six stolen bases in 60 plate appearances so far this season.
Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) landed on the injured list on August 4, but the severity of the injury remains a mystery. The organization was hopeful it would only require a minimal stint on the injured list. Well, Calhoun has not participated in any baseball activities since going down. The longer it takes will only increase the chances of Calhoun needing a rehab assignment. Before the injury, Calhoun was hitting .211/.269/.363 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI. Fantasy managers should be able to find better production elsewhere.
Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right heel irritation on Thursday. The severity of Calhoun's injury is unknown, but he will miss at least the next 10 days. Calhoun is slashing .211/.269/.363 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs, and two stolen bases over 350 plate appearances in 2022. Bubba Thompson's contract was purchased from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Thompson has elite speed and has stolen 49 bags over 80 games in Triple-A. Fantasy managers searching for speed can take a flyer on Thompson.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun epitomized the term "steady Eddie" for the majority of his career in Anaheim, producing solid, consistent results, but never taking his game to the next level. He was the perfect OF5 in a five-outfielder league. That changed in 2019, when Calhoun revamped his swing amidst a slump and wound up exploding for 33 home runs and a .236 ISO that year. He carried that success into 2020, as Calhoun popped 16 bombs with a .300 ISO and .362 wOBA in 228 PA last year. A disciple of the Statcast revolution, Calhoun posted a career-high 11.8% barrel rate and a 17-degree average launch angle in 2020, which were two key components to his success. A .211 BABIP and .264 xBA suggest that Calhoun could improve on his .226 BA from a year ago as well. He was dealing with some tightness and soreness in his right knee at the start of Spring Training, which turned out to be a medial meniscus tear. He underwent surgery in early March to repair his knee and should be out all of April. This has caused his ADP to plummet from 260 pre-injury to just outside the top 300. Given his age and reputation for bland stability Calhoun is often overlooked, but if he can marry his newfound power with a batting average around .250-.260 then he could prove to be a tremendous value. Due to the injury he's going un-drafted in most standard leagues so he's a sneaky stash if you have the spare IL slot.
