Fri Jan 1220:20Braves Sign Charlie Culberson As A Pitcher
The Atlanta Braves signed Charlie Culberson to a minor-league deal on Friday as a pitcher. The 34-year-old former infielder/outfielder is returning to the Braves after playing in just one game at the major-league level for them in 2023. He also spent three seasons in Atlanta from 2018-20, hitting .265/.314/.454 with 17 home runs and 66 RBI in 230 games played. Culberson has actually thrown 7 1/3 innings in his big-league career in mop-up duty and only allowed one run, so perhaps there's something there. It will be an interesting storyline for the Braves in spring training in 2024, but Culberson will almost certainly begin the year in the minor leagues and will be a long shot to become fantasy relevant, let alone pitch out of the Braves' bullpen.

Fri May 19 202312:00Braves Recall Charlie Culberson
The Atlanta Braves selected the contract of infielder Charlie Culberson from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday and transferred infielder Ehire Adrianza (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Culberson will come up to provide veteran infield depth for the weekend after the Braves optioned rookie Braden Shewmake to Gwinnett on Thursday. The 34-year-old played with Atlanta from 2019-21 and will get another shot for the organization in a bench role for the time being. Last year with the Texas Rangers, Culberson hit .283 (29-for-115) with six doubles, two home runs, 12 RBI, two stolen bases and 19 runs scored in 68 games. He's unlikely to provide meaningful numbers, even in the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Fri Mar 31 202315:10Charlie Culberson Joins Braves
The Atlanta Braves have signed infielder Charlie Culberson to a minor-league deal. The 33-year-old was released by the Tampa Bay Rays a week ago. He'll make his return to Atlanta after spending 2018-2020 with the team. Since then, Culberson has served in a bench role with the Texas Rangers. The expectation is that he'll head to Triple-A and serve as additional depth for the organization. It's unlikely that Culberson has any fantasy value even if he makes it to the Braves roster.

Thu Feb 9 202318:09Rays Sign Charlie Culberson To Minor-League Deal
The Tampa Bay Rays signed free-agent veteran infielder/outfielder Charlie Culberson to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invite to major-league spring training, according to sources. The 33-year-old has played parts of 10 seasons in the majors, most recently with the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves. In 68 games with Texas last year, he hit .252/.283/.357 with a .640 OPS, two home runs, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases in 124 plate appearances. Culberson can pretty much play anywhere, giving Tampa the positional versatility that they like, but he'll simply serve as utility depth for the Rays in 2023 and is unlikely to make any kind of impact in fantasy in mixed leagues. He has a career slash line of .248/.293/.386 with a .679 OPS, 30 home runs, 145 RBI and 21 steals in 585 career big-league games.

Wed Mar 16 202216:19Charlie Culberson Heads Back To Rangers
The Texas Rangers are re-signing infielder Charlie Culberson to a minor league deal on Wednesday, according to a source. He'll give the Rangers some infield insurance after he killed left-handed pitching in 2021. Culberson hit .243 with five home runs, 23 runs scored, 23 RBI and seven stolen bases in 91 plate appearances for Texas, but he went 46-for-133 (.346 batting average) with four of his five home runs against southpaws. The 32-year-old will battle for an Opening Day roster spot this spring, but both he and the recently signed Brad Miller should help make up for the loss of shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was traded to the Minnesota Twins last week. Andy Ibanez, Miller and Culberson could compete for at-bats all year at the hot corner.

Tue Sep 21 202111:18Charlie Culberson Goes Deep In Loss
Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson surprisingly provided the power for this lineup during Monday's contest. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the fifth inning of what ended up being a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees. This was Culberson's fifth home run on the season, but he is not a player known for his power. He is mainly a veteran infielder used off the bench and can be avoided in all fantasy formats.

Wed Sep 1 202113:16Charlie Culberson Activated, Starting Wednesday
The Texas Rangers activated third baseman Charlie Culberson from the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday. He is starting at third base and batting seventh in Wednesday's game against Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies. Culberson was out for about 10 days while suffering from symptoms of COVID-19. He was heating up before hitting the injured list. He slashed .400/.438/.533 over 12 games in August. Expect to see him in the Rangers' starting lineup more often than not going forward. Yonny Hernandez and Ryan Dorow should see their playing time decrease as a result of Culberson's activation.

Fri Aug 13 202112:07Charlie Culberson Hits Solo Blast In Loss
Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson was basically the only offensive player that showed up for this lineup on Thursday. He went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The veteran utility player collected one of the two hits for this offense in this game. He has four home runs and 18 RBI on the season, which is obviously not enough to be a contributor in fantasy formats.

Mon Aug 2 202111:02Charlie Culberson Has Three-Hit Game
Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson was a tough player to get out during Sunday's game versus the Seattle Mariners. He went 3-for-4 at the plate with three singles during the 4-3 win on Sunday. Those three hits pushed his batting average to .237, but still isn't at a respectable mark. He also has three home runs and 17 RBI this season as a bench option for the Rangers. It was a nice day at the plate for Culberson, but he can continue to be ignored in fantasy formats.

Sat Jul 24 202122:03Astros lose combined no-hit bid against Rangers in 8th
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros lost their combined no-hit bid in the eighth when Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled to start the inning for the Texas Rangers. Framber Valdez needed 99 pitches to get through six innings and Bryan Abreu took over for the seventh. Ryne Stanek came on in the eighth and Kiner-Falefa smacked his second pitch into shallow center field for the hit. Center fielder Myles Straw sprinted in and dived to try and make the catch, but it bounced just in front of his glove. Andy Ibáñez reached on a fielding error by Carlos Correa to start the seventh when he bobbled his grounder and didn't attempt a throw to first. Abreu retired David Dahl on a fly out before striking out Charlie Culberson and Jose Trevino to end the inning. Valdez struggled with command on Saturday night and tied a career high by walking six batters. Four of his six walks came in the first two innings. He settled down after the second and retired 12 of his last 14 batters. The 27-year-old left-hander was making... [More]

Thu May 20 202103:49LEADING OFF: No-hit streak, Davis down, Cueto vs Reds
A look at what’s happening around the majors today: ___ STRIKE THREE After no-hitters on consecutive nights by Detroit right-hander Spencer Turnbull and Yankees newcomer Corey Kluber, is there a pitcher on the docket who can make it three days in a row? Kluber fired the sixth no-hitter in the majors already this year, leading New York over the Texas Rangers 2-0 on Wednesday. That marks the most this early in a season — seven in one year is the modern-era record — and four have come in a 15-day span. The two-time Cy Young Award winner came within a four-pitch walk to Charlie Culberson in the third inning of throwing a perfect game. It was the first time there were no-hitters on consecutive days since 1969, when Cincinnati’s Jim Maloney threw one on April 30 and Houston’s Don Wilson on May 1. There were two no-hitters on June 29, 1990, by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Fernando Valenzuela and Oakland’s Dave Stewart. Kluber (4-2) struck out nine during the 12th no-hitter in Yankees history, the... [More]
Thu May 20 202102:19Kluber tosses Yankees' 12th no-hitter, tops Rangers 2-0
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Corey Kluber threw the the major leagues’ sixth no-hitter this season and second in two nights, leading the New York Yankees over the Texas Rangers 2-0 on Wednesday. The 35-year-old right-hander, a two-time American League Cy Young Award winner, came within a four-pitch walk to Charlie Culberson in the third inning of twirling a perfect game. Kluber pitched his gem a night after Detroit's Spencer Turnbull threw one against Seattle, marking the first no-hitters on consecutive days since 1969. Kluber (4-2) struck out nine and and threw 71 of 101 pitches for strikes in his ninth start for the Yankees. Kluber was pitching on the mound when he was hurt after one inning last season for the Rangers, when he tore a muscle in his right shoulder on July 26 in his Texas debut. It was the 12th no-hitter in Yankees history, the 11th in the regular season and the first since David Cone’s perfect game against Montreal on July 18, 1999. It was the fifth against the Rangers, who... [More]

Wed May 19 202122:29Yankees RHP Kluber has no-hitter through 8 vs. Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Corey Kluber has not allowed a hit through eight innings against the Texas Rangers, the team the two-time American League Cy Young Award winner pitched one inning for last season. Kluber, who has never thrown a no-hitter, has nine strikeouts, and has thrown 64 of 93 pitches for strikes. The only runner for the Rangers was Charlie Culberson, who drew a one-out walk in the third. There have already been five no-hitters in the big leagues this season, including Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. There haven't been no-hitters thrown on consecutive days since 1969. The first no-hitter this season was April 9 when San Diego native Joe Musgrove threw the first no-hitter in Padres history against the Rangers in Texas. Kluber was making his second start at the Rangers’ retractable roof stadium. The two-time AL Cy Young winner threw just one inning in his only season with the Rangers, tearing... [More]
