Gimenez, who has been on the disabled list all season after sustaining a staph infection near his left ankle, was activated from the 15-day DL and designated for assignment Tuesday to make room for Bobby Wilson.

Wilson was reacquired from Detroit on Tuesday. The Rangers dealt left-handed reliever Chad Bell to the Tigers.

The interim catching situation may well end up as a trio of Wilson, Bryan Holaday and Brett Nicholas.

Such is life when you don't have a full-time starter. It is the Rangers' life for at least the next five weeks until Robinson Chirinos returns from a fractured right forearm.

Here is the full news release on the Gimenez trade from the Rangers:

Toronto, Ontario -- The Texas Rangers today announced that the club has traded catcher Chris Gimenez to the Cleveland Indians for cash considerations.

Gimenez was activated from the 15-day disabled list and designated for assignment on Tuesday to make room for catcher Bobby Wilson, who was acquired from Detroit, on the 40-man roster.

Gimenez has been on the DL all season after sustaining an infection in his lower left leg during the last week of spring training. He was on rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco from April 25-May 2 and batted .240 (6-25) with one homer and 4 RBI in 7 games.

Gimenez batted .255 with 5 homers and 14 RBI in 36 games for Texas in 2015. This will mark his second stint with the Indians. He was traded by Texas to Cleveland for future considerations on August 23, 2014 and was 0-for-9 in 8 games the rest of the year.

With today's moves, the Rangers' major league roster remains at 40 players.
