Evan Carter Resting Against Lefty
8 months agoTexas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter, first baseman Jared Walsh and infielder Josh Smith are all starting on the bench on Thursday against the visiting Oakland Athletics and left-hander JP Sears. Carter is by far the biggest fantasy name of the trio. The 21-year-old youngster will take his second game off of the season. After really impressing in his first 23 regular-season games for the Rangers before helping them win the World Series last fall, Carter has been sluggish at the plate early on in 2024, going 7-for-37 (.189) with a home run, three RBI, and a steal. The good news is he's walked (nine times) more than he's struck out (six times) in his first 11 games. Rookie Wyatt Langford is in left and hitting third, Ezequiel Duran is at first and batting sixth, and Davis Wendzel is at third and hitting seventh for Texas on Thursday against Sears.
