Overview

  • Manager Bruce Bochy said on 105.3 The Fan that imaging confirmed a fracture in Carter’s right wrist after he was hit by a pitch Thursday.
  • Carter stayed in the game, ran the bases, and singled in his next at-bat before Alejandro Osuna replaced him later.
  • While the club has not yet announced an injured-list move or transactions, multiple reports indicate his 2025 season is likely over.
  • Osuna is poised for more time in the outfield with Adolis García already on the IL, and options on the active roster include Wyatt Langford, Cody Freeman, Josh Smith, Ezequiel Duran, and Joc Pederson.
  • Texas’ depth is stretched with few 40-man position players in the minors—Justin Foscue and Michael Helman are the listed options—after a 6-4 loss to the Royals left the Rangers 5.5 games out of a playoff spot.
