He came home to score on a wild pitch following his seventh-inning triple. It was just the third extra-base hit for the 34-year-old outfielder, who is slugging .277 (.072 ISO) over 83 at-bats.

Scuffles in Cactus League Calhoun started in right field and went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in Friday's spring training game against the Giants.

Impact Coming off a subpar 2021, the 33-year-old Calhoun has done little to improve his appeal entering 2022. The outfielder has four singles in 19 at-bats. He was limited to just 51 games for the Diamondbacks in 2021 due to a hamstring injury and didn't contribute much when on the field (.670 OPS). Calhoun's slated to start in right field for Texas this season, but the Rangers will keep options open if he repeats last season's performance.
