Rotowire

Rangers' Evan Carter: Away from team Monday
Rotowire
Carter won't be available for Monday's game against the Orioles while he tends to a personal matter, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
The Orioles are starting left-hander Trevor Rogers in the series opener, so the left-handed-hitting Carter likely would have been out of the lineup even if he was with the team. The Rangers haven't indicated whether Carter will rejoin the team Tuesday. Michael Helman will get the nod in center field Monday.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Key role in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Carter went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.
On a night when half of Texas' runs came on close plays at the plate, Carter scored the biggest one of the night. The center fielder began the 10th inning as the phantom runner, advanced to third on a wild pitch and then scampered home on Sam Haggerty's fielder's choice as he just got his hand under Gary Sanchez's tag attempt. Through 17 games in June, Carter is slashing .320/.404/.560 with three homers, three steals, eight RBI and 10 runs as he finally begins to return to the form he flashed as a rookie in 2023.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Taking seat vs. lefty Bubic
Rotowire
Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
The left-handed-hitting Carter will head to the bench while the Royals send southpaw Kris Bubic to the bump. Though Carter has produced an .860 OPS over 23 games on the season, he's logged just seven of his 75 plate appearances against southpaws, and the Rangers may continue to limit his exposure to same-handed pitching.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Moves to leadoff
Rotowire
Carter batted leadoff and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Royals.
Carter was moved up in the order to take the place of Josh Smith (hamstring), who was unavailable and may be out for another day or two. Carter's having a moment right now, going 11-for-24 with three home runs, three doubles and seven RBI over the last eight games. The Royals are expected to throw left-hander Kris Bubic on Wednesday, which likely means Carter will not be part of the starting lineup.
Rangers' Evan Carter: Back in lineup for series finale
Rotowire
Carter (wrist) will start in center field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Carter had been expected to miss out on a second straight start after the Rangers' initial lineup didn't include the 22-year-old, but he'll be back in center field after his sore right wrist responded better than expected to pregame work. Fantasy managers will hope that the injury Carter suffered Friday won't disrupt his timing at the plate. Since returning from a quadriceps strain June 3, he's slashed .407/484/.815 with three home runs, two doubles, two stolen bases and a 4:4 BB:K in 10 games.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Enters as pinch runner
Rotowire
Carter (wrist) entered Saturday's game as a pinch runner in the bottom of the 11th inning and scored the winning run.
Carter hurt his wrist diving for a ball during Friday's game and is expected to remain out of the starting lineup through the weekend. That doesn't mean he can't contribute with his legs, however. The Rangers are hoping Carter can resume full duties Tuesday.
Carter (wrist) got tests on his sore right wrist and isn't expected to return to the starting lineup until at least Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Carter is out of the starting lineup Saturday after departing Friday's matchup early due to wrist soreness that likely was a consequence of a diving catch he made in the fourth inning. While he won't start Sunday either, Carter could be available as a pinch runner this weekend. The hope among the Rangers is that the outfielder could be back Tuesday against Kansas City following an off day Monday.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Injury considered minor
Rotowire
Manager Bruce Bochy said after Friday's win over the White Sox that he believes Carter's wrist injury isn't anything too serious, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Carter was pulled from Friday's game in the seventh inning after injuring his wrist on a diving catch in the fourth. Bochy added that the team will likely look to give the 22-year-old outfielder a day off to recover Saturday, but he shouldn't need much more time than that before returning to the lineup. Josh Smith and Sam Haggerty are the most likely candidates to take Carter's place in center field while he sits.
