"A lot better," Chirinos said. "The last three days have been good. I'm hitting in batting practice, catching on the side, throwing. I'm doing everything. I never stopped working out. My body feels good, my swing feels good, my arm feels good."
The Rangers pinch-hit for catchers Bobby Wilson and Chris Gimenez in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Astros. They hit for Gimenez in a three-run ninth inning that ended with the tying run on base. If the Rangers had tied the game or gone ahead, Chirinos would have gone in to catch in the bottom of the inning.
