Carter isn't in the Rangers' starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against Kansas City.

Carter frequently sits against lefty starters, but this time he's being held out of the lineup versus right-hander Seth Lugo. Michael Helman will man center field for Texas in Carter's stead. Carter was hit by a pitch Friday, but it's unclear if that has anything to do with him being held out Saturday, per Matthew Postins of SI.com.

Varsho went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and a run scored in Friday's win over the Orioles.

Both extra-base hits came off southpaw Trevor Rogers, as Varsho stays dialed in at the plate. It was the center fielder's fifth multi-hit performance in his last 13 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .327/.411/.510 with zero homers but five doubles, two triples, one steal, three RBI and seven runs.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with an RBI and had an outfield assist in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox.

Martinez made an impact early in the game. He singled in the Guardians' third run in their four-run first inning and then gunned down Mickey Gasper at the plate an inning later. He's cooled off during the month of May (.225 average), but Martinez has maintained a run-producing bat and remains a regular in the starting lineup, either in left or right field. His 29 RBI and 19 extra-base hits are second on the club.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in Friday's win over the Royals.

Nimmo gave the Rangers a 6-0 lead in the fifth inning with a two-run shot that also scored Josh Jung. The veteran outfielder has hit safely in seven of his last 10 games, a stretch in which he has three homers, eight RBI and six runs scored while posting a strong .925 OPS.

Arozarena went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Arozarena delivered the winning hit, plating J.P. Crawford with a double in the 10th inning to walk it off. Arozarena has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with five RBI and four extra-base hits over his last five games. For the season, the veteran outfielder is batting .297 with an .849 OPS, six home runs, 26 RBI, 38 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and 15 stolen bases over 58 contests.

Raley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Raley has three multi-hit efforts over his last six games, going 7-for-20 (.350) with two homers in that span. The outfielder is batting .271 with an .896 OPS, 12 long balls, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored, five doubles and one stolen base across 157 plate appearances. Raley continues to be a reliable platoon bat, and he's already over halfway to matching his career-best homer total of 22 from the 2024 season.

Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Rodriguez has gone 14-for-43 (.326) with four homers and nine RBI over his last 10 contests. He's been held hitless just once in that span, which has gotten his season numbers into his typical range of performance. Rodriguez is batting .265 with a .780 OPS, 11 long balls, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, five stolen bases and 12 doubles through 58 games. He's not running as much this year, as he's logged just seven stolen-base attempts so far.

Bolte went 3-for-4 in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees.

Bolte wasn't able to generate any runs, but he did his part at the plate. The outfielder's three hits were a new career high in a single game after he logged a trio of two-hit efforts in his first 14 contests. He's batting .319 with a .762 OPS, four RBI, three runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases through 55 plate appearances, but he's still searching for his first big-league homer. There's still some long-term swing-and-miss concern, but he's struck out at a modest 20.0 percent rate so far in the majors while making enough contact to emerge as a starting option in center field.

Langford (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Langford has been on the injured list since late April, though his time on the sidelines was extended significantly by a setback he suffered during his first rehab game on May 1. The 24-year-old resumed taking live batting practice this week, and after a successful session Friday, he's officially been cleared to return to a competitive setting. It's unclear how many games the Rangers plan to have Langford play in the minors before adding him back to the active roster, but he's trending toward a return in early June.

Meyers went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

It was Meyers' first multi-hit game since returning from the injured list May 19. During that span, he's gone 5-for-28 (.179) at the plate with one double, one homer, two RBI, two runs scored and a 1:7 BB:K. For the season, Meyers is slashing .215/.278/.354 with two homers, six RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a 5:15 BB:K across 72 plate appearances.
