Rangers' Christian Lopes: Testing out catching

Lopes is working on catching this spring, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Lopes has been mostly an infielder to this point in his career, also spending a bit of time in the outfield corners. Infield-to-catcher transitions are not unheard of but are uncommon. Lopes hit a respectable .261/.365/.408 with 12 homers and 16 steals for Triple-A Round Rock last season, numbers which would look all the more interesting behind the plate.
