X-Rays Come Back Negative On Evan Carter
10 months agoTexas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter (forearm) left the team's Cactus League game early on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm, but X-rays came back negative and he is considered day-to-day on Monday. It's good news for the 21-year-old, but the Rangers could hold him out of spring training games for a few more days to let him rest up. Either way, Carter should be just fine for Opening Day in late March. One of the top prospects in the game, Carter hit .306 (19-for-62) with five homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases in his first 23 regular-season games in 2023 before helping the Rangers win their first World Series title last fall. He's going to hit near the top of Texas' batting order and has 20-steal potential, but his struggles against lefties could be an issue in his first full MLB season in 2024.
