Rangers Considering Calling Up Evan Carter

The Texas Rangers are considering calling up outfield prospect Evan Carter, their top prospect per MLB Pipeline, from Triple-A Round Rock. Carter's promotion was under consideration before All-Star outfielder Adolis Garcia (knee) was removed from Wednesday's contest with a right-knee injury, so Carter's odds of joining the big-league club have only increased. The struggling Rangers […]

Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams (hand) injured his left hand after fouling off a pitch on Wednesday against the New York Mets and had to leave mid-at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning.
