Willie Calhoun Stats

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun is out of the starting nine for Thursdays contest against Houston and left-hander Framber Valdez. Calhoun has gone 0-for-8 with three strikeouts since returning from the injured list, having produced just a .380 OPS in 20 games this season. Despite having mashed 21 homers in 83 contests during 2019, it appears that the 25-year-old has taken a significant step backwards in production, even with injuries hampering him this year. Calhouns next chance to rejoins the lineup comes Friday against the Angels, although his lack of production likely keeps him from being an appealing asset in any fantasy format.

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun is expected to be activated off of the injured list prior to Tuesdays contest versus Houston. Calhoun has been on the IL since Aug. 20 due to a strained left hamstring that was initially expected to keep him out for the remainder of the year, but he will instead get to attempt to improve upon the .430 OPS that he has delivered through his first 18 games. With Texas turning at-bats over to many of their younger players down the stretch, Calhoun should see a sizable role, although rostering him in anything but the deepest of season-long formats is a risky proposition. Having compiled a .524 SLG last year, fantasy managers are likely best keeping an eye on his health coming into the 2021 year.

Texas Rangers first baseman/designated hitter Danny Santana has been confirmed to be out for the rest of the 2020 year due to a sprained right elbow. He appeared in just 15 contests after his breakout 2019 campaign, but was able to slash just .145/.238/.273. The news isnt all bad for the Rangers, who are expected to get Willie Calhoun before the final game. Calhoun was previously expected to be done for the season after he sustained a strained left hamstring, but manager Chris Woodward was optimistic about a return when he spoke Saturday. Through 18 games, Calhoun owns just a 19 OPS+, which likely makes him a fantasy non-entity barring a late-season hot streak.
