Tue Sep 1 201518:38Corporan (thumb) activated from DL on Tuesday
Corporan (thumb) was activated from the DL on Tuesday.
This was fully anticipated, but the Rangers now have three active catchers, all of whom are fairly uninspiring from a fantasy perspective. Look for Corporan to catch a couple days per week over the rest of the season.

Corporan (thumb) will be activated from the DL on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Corporan will return from the DL as rosters expand Tuesday, and he'll be joined by Joey Gallo, Drew Stubbs, Luke Jackson, Ross Ohlendorf and Josh Hamilton, per the report. Corporan has not played since July 13 due to a bruised left thumb, and he figures to step in as the Rangers' third catcher behind Chris Gimenez and Bobby Wilson over the final month of the season.

Corporan (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Wednesday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Corporan resumed baseball activities nearly two weeks ago, and he'll now move on to the final stage in his recovery from a sprained left thumb. It's unclear how many rehab appearances he'll make, but considering he's missed more than a month and already suffered one setback, the team will likely ensure that he's 100 percent before activating him. Once activated, Corporan will mostly provide depth behind the plate and doesn't figure to be much of a fantasy factor over the final month of the season.

Corporan (thumb) has resumed all baseball activities, but remains without a timetable for a return, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Corporan served as the backup to Robinson Chirinos earlier in the season, but with both backstops on the shelf, Chris Gimenez and Bobby Wilson have been handling catching duties. Even when the Rangers do choose to activate Corporan, he'll likely be limited, as he's expected to need offseason surgery on his ailing left thumb.

He is without a timetable to rejoin the Rangers, but since Corporan was hitting .178 with three homers prior to landing on the DL, there shouldn't be many fantasy owners anxiously awaiting his return.
Tue Aug 4 201520:45Corporan pulled off rehab assignment due to renewed soreness in ...
Corporan has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to renewed soreness in his thumb, Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest reports.
He worked up to seven innings behind the plate Monday in a game with Triple-A Round Rock, providing hope that he would make it back to the big club later this week. However, it seems the thumb hasn't responded especially well to live action, as he's been pulled off his assignment and there is no timetable for him to resume his rehab. Chris Gimenez and Bobby Wilson will continue to handle catching duties with Robinson Chirinos (shoulder) also sidelined.

Corporan is still experiencing some swelling with his thumb, but believes it will subside enough in the next several days for him to resume baseball activities. The Rangers have been using Tomas Telis as their backup catcher for the time being, but Corporan should be able to reclaim that role once his condition fully improves.

Corporan went 1-for-4 with his first homer of the year Wednesday in a loss to the Angels.
Corporan's been seeing semi-regular action behind the plate in the early going, so he's got a bit of value in AL-only formats, though there's not much upside here.
Tue Apr 7 201518:55Corporan getting start at catcher Tuesday and batting eighth
Corporan is getting the start at catcher Tuesday and batting eighth, the Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant reports.
Corporan's career splits are fairly similar against righties and lefties, so this just appears to be a regular day off for Robinson Chirinos. Look for Corporan to settle in as the backup, playing once or twice a week this season.
Wed Jan 21 201511:03Corporan traded to Rangers on Wednesday
Corporan was traded to the Rangers on Wednesday, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Corporan was designated for assignment by the Astros on Tuesday, and the team has decided to trade him rather than send him to the minors. The terms of the deal are unclear at this time, but Corporan will likely battle for the backup catching job with the Rangers in 2015.
Tue Jan 20 201517:17Corporan designated for assignment Tuesday
Corporan was designated for assignment Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
The move comes in response to the signing of Colby Rasmus, as the Astros need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. They'll have 10 days to determine what to do with Corporan, but the general sense is that they'll seek a trade.
