Snaps drought Odor went 1-for-3 in Monday's 3-2 win over Oakland.
Impact Odor's seventh-inning single snapped an 0-for-20 skid, a hitless run that followed a positive 6-for-18 stretch which hinted at busting out of a season-long slump. The Rangers have discussed replacing the struggling Odor, who is currently batting .150, but his potential replacements -- Nick Solak and Danny Santana -- currently have paths to at-bats without having to remove Odor from the lineup. That could change when Willie Calhoun (hamstring) and/or Elvis Andrus (back) return from the injured list.

Records second homer Odor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.
Impact Odor pounced on Jon Gray early, taking him out to right field for his second home run of the season. He had an effective series at Coors Field, going 3-for-10 with three RBI across three games. For the season, Odor is hitting .151/.224/.283 and is in danger of losing playing time to newly-acquired Derek Dietrich.

Back in lineup Odor started at second base and went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.
Impact Odor, who was held out of the lineup Wednesday, returned to action Friday. Wednesday's fill-in, Derek Dietrich, rapped out three hits, stole a base and scored two runs in a win. That led to speculation that the struggling Odor's absence could be an extended one, but the Rangers continue to extend chances to Odor, who drove in the game-tying run in the seventh inning Friday. "These guys have got to be productive," Texas manager Chris Woodward told Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News. "I've talked to Rougie about that and he understands that, so today, he gets an opportunity to be productive. That's the line." Dietrich, who scored a run as a pinch hitter Friday, is expected to play Saturday and Sunday, although it's not certain if either start will come at second base.

Returns to second base Odor started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Angels.
Impact Odor, who missed games due to an oblique injury, returned Friday as the designated hitter before playing the field Saturday. Whether he remains the daily starter at second base is open to conjecture. He's 0-for-7 with four strikeouts since returning, and his average fell to .097. The Rangers, who have watched Odor endure long slumps over the years, could use either Anderson Tejeda or Nick Solak to share second base.
