Impact The stolen base was just Mathis' 12th in 925 career MLB games. He made his fourth start in 14 games, as Robinson Chirinos was given a routine day off. The 37-year-old backstop is 3-for-9 with a triple and an RBI.

Gets at-bats Sunday Chirinos (ankle) caught one inning and had four at-bats in Sunday's intrasquad game, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
Impact While seeing Chirinos participate in the game is an encouraging sign, he's not out of the woods in terms of being available for Friday's season opener against Colorado. Texas manager Chris Woodward talked about Chirinos and Willie Calhoun (hip), who also took part in Sunday's game. "They are better off than I anticipated," the manager said. "I'm not sure they'll be ready for Opening Day or we would want them ready for Opening Day. But whether it is Opening Day, the second day or the third day, as long as they are ready within the first seven games, we will probably keep them on the roster." While Jeff Mathis provides a wealth of MLB experience, Woodward said earlier in camp he may roll with Jose Trevino as the top backup if Chirinos is unable to open the season.

Status uncertain for Opening Day Manager Chris Woodward said Tuesday that Chirinos (ankle) is feeling better but may not be ready for Opening Day, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Impact The 36-year-old suffered the ankle injury in a collision at home plate during Monday's intrasquad game, though the subsequent imaging he underwent came back negative. Chirinos has just over a week to get healthy before the July 24 season opener against the Rockies, otherwise Jeff Mathis is in line for increased work behind the plate.
