The Texas Rangers announced on Saturday, June 14, 2026, that outfielder Evan Carter has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Carter is sidelined with a right oblique strain, an injury that forced him out of Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. His defensive capabilities have been a significant asset, with Baseball Savant ranking him in the 94th percentile for Fielding Run Value.
In response to Carter's injury, the Rangers recalled utility man Cody Freeman from their Triple-A affiliate, Round Rock. Freeman offers flexibility, having experience at second base, third base, left field, and right field in his major league career. The team also made other roster moves, recalling right-hander Joe Ross and designating right-hander Michel Otanez for assignment.
