| A.J. Pierzynski to begin brief rehab assignment Sunday |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/16/13) Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski is scheduled to begin a brief rehab assignment Sunday before being activated Tuesday. Pierzynski may also play a rehab game Monday, as manager Ron Washington doesn't think he needs a "mental day off" his players usually receive between rehab and major-league appearances.
"I don’t know if I can do that to A.J. and make him sit another day," Washington told the Dallas Morning News. "Besides, I want to watch the game, too. He’s up here in my office every day telling me he wants to play. I think playing him will be more of a mental day off for me than for him."

| A.J. Pierzynski said he'll be ready for May 21 activation |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/12/13) Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski (oblique) resumed throwing Sunday and will begin hitting off a tee Monday, according to ESPN. Pierzynski hopes to progress to batting practice Thursday.
Pierzynski said he will be ready to come off the disabled list when he's eligible May 21.
"I'll be ready when it's time to come off," Pierzynski said.

| A.J. Pierzynski on disabled list |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/9/13) The Rangers placed catcher A.J. Pierzynski on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday night with a strained oblique. The move was made retroactive to May 6.
The Rangers recalled catcher Robinson Chirinos in a corresponding move. Geovany Soto is expected to spend most of the time behind the plate while Pierzynski is out.

| Rangers to place A.J. Pierzynski on disabled list |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) The Rangers are expected to place catcher A.J. Pierzynski on the disabled list, FOXSports.com reports. He hasn't played since Sunday while dealing with a sore oblique, which he had an MRI on Wednesday.
Pierzynski has hit .263/.297/.411 with four home runs in 101 plate appearances this season.

| A.J. Pierzynski has MRI on oblique |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski was sent for an MRI on his sore right oblique.
"It's something he's been dealing with and he said he's played with it," manager Ron Washington told ESPNDallas.com before Wednesday's game against the Brewers. "So we just wanted to get a precautionary MRI and get some fact on it. We don't know what's happening right now. But if I need him to catch tonight, if for some reason [Geovany] Soto goes down, he can do it."
Pierzynski hasn't played since Sunday.

| We can say with near-certainty that A.J. Pierzynski will not repeat his power outburst from 2012, which produced a career-high 27 home runs. His next-closest total came in 2005, when Pierzynski hit 18 home runs. He had a handful of double-digit home run seasons mixed in, but a breakout 27 home-run season for a catcher usually comes from a 25-year-old, not a 35-year-old. Pierzynski's average is sustainable -- if anything, his .278 was low by his standards -- and his 18 doubles should probably rise to about 22 in 2013. But don't draft Pierzynski hoping for 25 home runs again -- you'll be lucky if he hits 15. And things are further complicated with him likely sharing at-bats with Geovany Soto. Pierzynski is best left for the later rounds of most drafts, as a backup catcher. (Updated 1/2/13) |
