Chirinos Has Been Serviceable for Rangers

Chirinos has hit .234 with 24 home runs and 76 RBI in 189 career games with the Rangers after spending one season with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011. He had yet to throw a runner out this season, but the 31-year-old was batting .267 with one home run and two RBI this season prior to the injury.

It's never good to lose your starting catcher, and his 10 home runs in just 78 games last season were encouraging.
