Receives injection for back 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...

Impact 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.

Texas Rangers put outfielder Evan Carter on IL, recall outfielder Alejandro Osuna

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter has been placed on the 10-day injured list because of back spasms

AUGUST 2 • Associated Press

Placed on injured list The Rangers placed Carter on the 10-day injured list Saturday with back spasms.

Impact 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 on center field while Carter is on the shelf, and Alejandro Osuna will come up from Triple-A Round Rock to replenish Texas' outfield depth.
