Evan Carter was hit on his right wrist by a pitch and subsequent imaging revealed a fracture. The team has not yet formally announced the injury, an IL placement, or any roster transactions but is expected to do so before tonight's game. Carter remained in the contest after being struck, ran the bases, recorded a single in his next at-bat, and was lifted later in the game. Alejandro Osuna replaced Carter and could receive more playing time with Carter potentially joining Adolis Garcia on the injured list. Other outfield options include Wyatt Langford, Cody Freeman, Ezequiel Duran, and Joc Pederson.
Rangers outfielder Evan Carter was plunked by a pitch on his right wrist Thursday, and manager Bruce Bochy told hosts Kevin Hageland and Cory Mageors in a radio spot on 105.3 The Fan today that subsequent imaging revealed a fracture. The team hasn't confirmed that Carter will miss the remainder of the season, but that certainly seems plausible, given the dwindling number of days on the schedule.
Carter actually remained in the game after being hit on the wrist. He ran the bases for himself and played several more innings - even tallying a single in his next at-bat - before being lifted later in the game. Alejandro Osuna replaced him late in the game and could see an uptick in playing time with Carter joining Adolis Garcia (sprained ankle) on the injured list.
