Rangers' Robinson Chirinos: To begin rehab assignment Tuesday, rejoin Rangers June 9

Chirinos (forearm) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment Tuesday and he is on pace to rejoin the Rangers when he's eligible on June 9, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

It was reported earlier in the week that Chirinos was ahead of schedule in his recovery from a broken bone in his right forearm, and that continues to be the case as he'll set out on a rehab assignment Tuesday. He'll report to Double-A Frisco for one week, getting game reps in at catcher, before rejoining the Rangers on June 9 provided he remains on schedule. Once he is activated, the Rangers will likely have to choose between optioning Bryan Holaday or Bobby Wilson.
