Evan Carter continued to showcase his potential in the minors with a solid performance in his return to the Triple-A Round Rock lineup, going 1 for 3 with a walk in a 6-3 victory over Oklahoma City. This game marked his first start at sixth in the batting order, a departure from his usual leadoff position. The Texas Rangers are managing Carter's development with care, particularly after he missed most of last season due to injury. With a .500 on-base percentage over his last five games, including six walks, Carter is proving he can contribute effectively.

However, his inclusion on the 40-man roster complicates matters for the Rangers, as it restricts his ability to be placed on the MLB Development List for further non-game training. The only option is to place him on the Injured List, which the team has avoided, indicating they believe he can continue to play despite ongoing back concerns. His recent statistics reflect promise, with three hits and two stolen bases in recent outings, suggesting he’s adjusting well.
