Willie Calhoun Stats

After being demoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun said he wants to be traded. "(I'm) gonna go to Triple-A and put myself in a position to get traded," Calhoun said. "I do want to be traded." Calhoun hit the ball hard early on, but he has a .136 batting average to show for it. The 27-year-old has been up and down from the majors and minors since his debut in 2017, and injuries have also slowed him down along the way. "I don't agree with some of the hitting philosophies from the new guys," Calhoun said. "I don't process that (information) too well. I'm not 6-foot-4, 230 pounds; I can't hit pop-up home runs. I don't have that leverage." A healthy Calhoun can still be successful in the big leagues, but at this point, that probably won't be in Texas.

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun was activated from the injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the 7-2 loss. Calhoun fractured his forearm in late June and was sidelined up until Wednesday. He is slashing .258 with five home runs and nine doubles over 209 at-bats this season. The Rangers are likely going to get Calhoun in the lineup frequently down the stretch. This is a wait-and-see type of situation for fantasy purposes.

The Texas Rangers have activated outfielder Willie Calhoun (arm) from the injured list. He is playing designated hitter and batting second in Wednesday's game against Jose Urquidy and the Houston Astros. Calhoun was out for about two and a half months after breaking his arm. He played in 59 games with the Rangers before the injury and slashed .254/.323/.385 with five home runs, 19 RBI and 23 runs. He could have some fantasy value in deep leagues or AL-only leagues in the final weeks of the season if he sees regular playing time. The Rangers demoted fellow outfielder Jason Martin to Triple-A to clear space for Calhoun.
