The Texas Rangers have re-signed catcher Tucker Barnhart to a minor league deal after he elected free agency and cleared waivers. Barnhart, who previously served as the team’s top depth option, will likely report to Triple-A Round Rock, providing insurance behind the plate for Jonah Heim and Kyle Higashioka, who currently share catching duties. With over a decade of major league experience, Barnhart may return to the big leagues if either Heim or Higashioka faces injury, despite his modest offensive stats.
