Evan Carter Moved To 60-Day Injured List
3 months agoIn a flurry of roster moves on Monday, the Texas Rangers transferred outfielder Evan Carter (back) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. It has been a lost season for Carter, who has been on the shelf since May 28 with a lumbar sprain. The 21-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder was shut down from baseball activities last Friday and is getting a second opinion on his troublesome back injury. Depending on what doctors say, there's a chance Carter won't return to the Rangers the rest of the season. The former second-rounder in 2020 made his big-league debut in 2023 and hit an impressive .306/.413/.645 with a 1.058 OPS, five homers and 12 RBI in 23 regular-season games before helping the Rangers win their first-ever World Series title. However, he went just .27-for-144 (.188) this year before his back woes cropped up, and his fantasy value has taken a nose dive in 2024. Carter is going to need to improve against lefties to secure regular starts whenever he returns.
