After a lost 2024, the 22-year-old is back to his best. That could mean a lot for a club that's played its best baseball with him in the lineup.

After Carter reported “pretty good soreness” in the wrist on Saturday morning, the Rangers sent him for further diagnostics, Bochy said. The club had not received any word on those images by game time Saturday. With Carter out of the lineup, Wyatt Langford moved over to center and Sam Haggerty took over in left.
