The Rangers transferred Carter (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dylan Moore, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock by the Rangers following the placement of Corey Seager (abdomen) on the 10-day IL. Carter is recovering from a right wrist injury that will keep him sidelined for the rest of the 2025 campaign, but he could be ready for the start of spring training.

Rotowire
The Rangers will transfer Carter (wrist) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
A fractured right wrist forced Carter onto the injured list last Friday, and his impending move to the 60-day IL will put an early end to his regular season. The 22-year-old will finish 2025 with a .247/.336/.392 slash line alongside five homers, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and 14 steals over 63 games. His 40-man spot will be filled by Dylan Moore, who will join the active roster Friday to replace Corey Seager (appendectomy).

The Rangers placed Carter (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Friday.
Texas makes Carter's move official after manager Bruce Bochy revealed Friday morning that Carter could be out for the season with a fractured right wrist. The 22-year-old's spot on the active roster will go to Michael Helman. Wyatt Langford should see more action in center field while Carter is out, while Alejandro Osuna could see a bump in playing time in left.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Injury could be season-ending
Rotowire
Manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that further evaluation revealed Carter (wrist) sustained a fracture when he was hit by a pitch Thursday, and he could be out for the remainder of the season, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
While Bochy didn't offer any more specifics, Carter appears to be headed toward a lengthy stint on the injured list and could be out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. The center fielder had started seven of Texas's last eight games, and a prolonged absence will mean Wyatt Langford slides back over to center, and more playing time in left field for Alejandro Osuna.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Exits game following hit-by-pitch
Rotowire
Carter was removed from Thursday's game versus the Royals in the eighth inning after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
He was struck by a Daniel Lynch offering in the seventh inning. Carter remained in the game initially before eventually being lifted an inning later. The 22-year-old is likely to undergo X-rays, and an update on his condition should be forthcoming. He went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base before exiting.
Carter went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 10-4 win over Toronto.
Carter put the finishing touch on the victory with a two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was his fifth in 59 games this season. Carter's hit safely in all four appearances since returning from the injured list last week, going 5-for-13 with three RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored.
The Rangers activated Carter (back) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Carter played just one rehab game with Double-A Frisco and served as the designated hitter in that contest. He had been slated to play at least one more rehab game, but with Adolis Garcia (ankle) injured, the Rangers are bringing Carter back early. Carter has been sidelined for most of this month with back spasms.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Begins rehab assignment
Rotowire
Carter (back) served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with two walks for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.
Carter kicked off what is expected to be a brief rehab stint. Per MLB.com, he's likely to return this weekend, when the Rangers travel to Toronto for a three-game set beginning Friday.
Carter (back) took batting practice Monday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Carter has responded well to an injection for his injured back and is nearly ready to play in games. The outfielder has been sidelined for less than two weeks, so his rehab assignment is likely to be brief. Wyatt Langford has been playing center field since Carter went down, but Langford should return to left field once Carter is ready to return.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Receives injection for back
Rotowire
Carter said Wednesday that he received an injection to address discomfort in his ailing back and expects to resume ramping up his baseball activities Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Carter was placed on the injured list Saturday due to back spasms, but the young outfielder doesn't appear to be tracking toward an extended stay on the shelf. Assuming the shot in his back yields the desired effect, Carter could start hitting, running and playing defense over the weekend before potentially heading out on a rehab assignment. With Carter out, the Rangers have been using Wyatt Langford as their primary center fielder, which has opened up more reps for Alejandro Osuna and Sam Haggerty in left field.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Rangers placed Carter on the 10-day injured list Saturday with back spasms.
Carter began having issues with his back after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Friday. The Rangers have determined his injury is severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL, so the 22-year-old will now remain on the sidelines until at least Aug. 12. Sam Haggerty is the likely candidate to pick up starts in center field while Carter is on the shelf, and Alejandro Osuna will come up from Triple-A Round Rock to replenish Texas' outfield depth.
Carter went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
Carter knocked in the Rangers' first run in the second inning with a triple and then came home to tie the game at 2-2. He's knocked in runs in two straight contests. It's been a rough start to the second half for Carter, who went hitless over his first 12 at-bats following the All-Star break.

Carter is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
The Rangers are facing a lefty starter (Jacob Lopez) on Monday, so the left-handed-hitting Carter will remain on the bench for a second day in a row after sitting against the Detroit ace Tarik Skubal in Sunday's 2-1 loss. The newly recalled Michael Helman will spell Carter in center field in the series opener with the Athletics.
