Evan Carter To Miss A Month Or More
6 months agoTexas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said on Tuesday that outfielder Evan Carter (back) will be out for around a month or more. "It's a little worse than we thought. It's not a stress fracture, I think we're calling it a stress reaction," Bochy said. The Rangers put the young outfielder on the 10-day injured list on May 28 with what they called lower-back tightness at the time. This news from Bochy is much more significant and will keep the 21-year-old left-handed hitter out into the second half of the season. It will be at least several weeks before Carter resumes baseball activities. Fantasy managers are going to have to be patient here. In Carter's absence, rookie first-rounder Wyatt Langford has been playing left field regularly while Robbie Grossman and Ezequiel Duran see at-bats at designated hitter. In addition to his injury, Carter struggled in his first 45 games in just his second year in the big leagues, going 27-for-144 (.188) with five homers, 15 RBI and 43 K's in 162 plate appearances.
