The Texas Rangers are facing a significant injury setback as outfielder Evan Carter is sidelined due to tightness in his right quadriceps. Manager Bruce Bochy confirmed that Carter, who had previously battled chronic back issues, is not experiencing a recurrence of those problems. Instead, the team is opting for caution, allowing him three days of rest ahead of their series against the New York Yankees. Carter has struggled at the plate recently, going hitless in his last 11 at-bats but drawing three walks during that span. In his absence, the Rangers have started Sam Haggerty in center field, and if Carter's condition does not improve, they may activate Kevin Pillar from the injured list.
