Rangers Considering Calling Up Evan Carter
1 year agoThe Texas Rangers are considering calling up outfield prospect Evan Carter, their top prospect per MLB Pipeline, from Triple-A Round Rock. Carter's promotion was under consideration before All-Star outfielder Adolis Garcia (knee) was removed from Wednesday's contest with a right-knee injury, so Carter's odds of joining the big-league club have only increased. The struggling Rangers are looking for a jolt for their offense down the stretch after already losing the lead in the American League West. The 21-year-old Carter hit .284/.411/.451 with 12 home runs, 62 RBI, 22 stolen bases and 68 runs scored in 97 games for Double-A Frisco before being promoted to Round Rock, where he's gone 12-for-34 (.353) in just eight games. If Carter is promoted, he figures to see regular playing time for the Rangers to close out the year.
