Carter Out With Oblique Strain

Rangers’ star center fielder Evan Carter’s season hit a snag after a painful diving catch twisted his right oblique, landing him on the 10-day injured list. Already struggling at the plate with a .176 average, Carter’s absence hits hard with the team’s defense. Backup Cody Freeman, recently sent down to Triple-A but slashing .341 with 11 RBIs, is stepping in — a right-handed bat needed to face upcoming lefties. The manager expects Carter’s return to be at least 10 days, possibly longer, as oblique injuries demand caution — especially with swinging. The Rangers brace for a tough stretch without their key outfielder. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
