Evan Carter News: Pulled early in return from IL

Carter went 0-for-1 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss against the Rays.

Carter returned from the injured list Tuesday after dealing with a quadriceps injury but was lifted after just one at-bat, as Sam Haggerty pinch hit for him when a left-hander entered the game. The former has had a tough time finding his rhythm at the plate in 2025, slashing .176/.263/.265 with just one extra-base hit over 12 games in the big leagues. The Rangers have underwhelmed this season and would greatly benefit if the 22-year-old could recapture his 2023 form, when he flashed a 1.058 OPS over 23 games.
