Kyle Higashioka: Breaking News
Pops solo shot
Higashioka went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels. Higashioka got a run back with his seventh-inning blast, but the Rangers couldn't build a rally. The catcher has three homers this season, and two of them have come over his last four games. He's batting just .215 with a .621 OPS, nine RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 86 plate appearances. Higashioka and Danny Jansen continue to split the catching duties fairly evenly, though Jansen has a slight edge.
Launches second homer Sunday
Higashioka went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Astros. Higashioka delivered a two-run single during Texas' big seventh inning before adding a solo homer off Cody Bolton in the ninth to pad the lead. The long ball was just his second of the season as the veteran catcher continues to search for consistency at the plate. Higashioka is now slashing .211/.273/.310 with eight RBI and seven runs scored across 77 plate appearances.
