**Rangers’ Carter Hits Injured List with Quad Strain; Pillar Returns to Lineup**

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Texas Rangers have placed outfielder Evan Carter on the 10-day injured list due to a right quadriceps strain. The move, announced Sunday, comes a day after Carter was a late scratch from the lineup. Manager Bruce Bochy anticipates Carter will be sidelined for approximately two weeks.

To fill Carter’s spot, veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar has been activated from the injured list after recovering from lower back inflammation that kept him out for two weeks. Pillar was immediately inserted into the lineup, starting in right field against the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Carter, who played a pivotal role in the Rangers’ 2023 World Series victory after a strong debut, has struggled with injuries. Last year, a back injury limited him to 45 games. He started this season in the minor leagues to refine his swing and reduce back strain. In 11 games this season, primarily in center field, Carter is batting .182.

Pillar, 36, has appeared in 18 games for the Rangers this season, playing all three outfield positions and hitting .237 before his back injury.

In other roster moves, the Rangers have recalled right-handed pitcher Caleb Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock. Right-hander Cole Winn was optioned back to Round Rock just four days after being recalled. This marks Boushley’s third stint with the Rangers this season. Winn made one appearance.
