Kyle Higashioka: Breaking News

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.

Higashioka went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer during the Rangers' 3-2 win over the Mariners on Tuesday. Higashioka gave the Rangers the lead for good in the fifth inning, when he took George Kirby deep to left-center field for a two-run homer for the former's first long ball of the season. It was Higashioka's fourth start behind home plate in 11 games, and for now, it looks like he is the clear second option at catcher behind Danny Jansen to open the 2026 season.

Higashioka is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Through Texas' first six games, Higashioka has drawn two starts at catcher to Danny Jansen's four. The Rangers could split the reps fairly equitably between the two backstops this season, but at least in the early going, Jansen looks to be Option 1A of the duo.
