Carter's Oblique Injury Upends Rangers Plans

Texas Rangers center fielder Evan Carter goes on the injured list after a diving catch allegedly caused right oblique soreness — a rare injury mechanism for this type of play. The team calls up infielder Cody Freeman to fill his spot, with Freeman starting at second base. Manager Skip Schumaker notes he’s never seen an oblique injury from a diving catch before, usually it’s from a check swing. Carter, whose bat has struggled but defense remains elite — saving five runs this season — is sidelined for at least ten days, but his glove keeps him vital to the lineup.
