Carter started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Carter returned from the bereavement list and picked up where he left off. The outfielder extended a hit streak to eight games and stole multiple bases for the second straight contest. Carter is slashing .355/.459/.387 with five steals and one RBI over the hit streak. He was eventually replaced by a pinch hitter in the 10th inning against a lefty reliever, which is a normal practice of Texas manager Bruce Bochy.

Carter (personal) was reinstated from the bereavement list and is back in the lineup Friday, starting in center field and batting fifth against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old Carter was demoted to Triple-A in April and also spent time on the injured list earlier this season with a Grade 2 quadriceps strain. He's turned it around at the dish since his return, however, slashing .333/.421/.530 with three homers and five steals across his last 21 games.

The Rangers placed Carter (personal) on the bereavement list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Carter has been away from the team for the past few days in order to attend his grandfather's funeral, and he's now officially been moved to the bereavement list. It was previously reported that the 22-year-old was likely to rejoin the team Wednesday, though it's unclear if that's still the expectation.

The Rangers expect Carter (personal) to rejoin the team Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carter left the team in order to attend his grandfather's funeral. He has not been placed on the bereavement list, so the Rangers will play a man short for two games. Michael Helman is in center field for Texas on Monday.

Carter won't be available for Monday's game against the Orioles while he tends to a personal matter, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles are starting left-hander Trevor Rogers in the series opener, so the left-handed-hitting Carter likely would have been out of the lineup even if he was with the team. The Rangers haven't indicated whether Carter will rejoin the team Tuesday. Michael Helman will get the nod in center field Monday.

Carter went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Carter scored the Rangers' first run after a second-inning double, which also extended a hit streak to seven games. He's gone 10-for-28 (.357) with three steals, one RBI and four runs during his streak. The two thefts give Carter eight stolen bases through 32 games.

Carter went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
On a night when half of Texas' runs came on close plays at the plate, Carter scored the biggest one of the night. The center fielder began the 10th inning as the phantom runner, advanced to third on a wild pitch and then scampered home on Sam Haggerty's fielder's choice as he just got his hand under Gary Sanchez's tag attempt. Through 17 games in June, Carter is slashing .320/.404/.560 with three homers, three steals, eight RBI and 10 runs as he finally begins to return to the form he flashed as a rookie in 2023.

Carter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Carter had started in center field in each of the previous three contests, but he'll be given a breather against southpaw Bailey Falter. After a two-game absence, Wyatt Langford (back) has been cleared to rejoin the starting nine and will replace Carter in center field while Sam Haggerty picks up another start in left.

Carter batted seventh and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis

Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Carter will head to the bench while the Royals send southpaw Kris Bubic to the bump. Though Carter has produced an .860 OPS over 23 games on the season, he's logged just seven of his 75 plate appearances against southpaws, and the Rangers may continue to limit his exposure to same-handed pitching.
