Bruce Bochy from Rangers admits that Evan Carter's Quad injury is worse than originally expected

Arlington – The good news is that Evan Carter does not have to miss time because of his back this season. The bad news is that another big muscle has now excluded him.

The Texas Rangers presented Carter against the Houston Astros on the Globe Life Field on Sunday on the 10-day injured list of grade.

Bruce Bochy, Manager of Rangers, said on Sunday that Carter could miss several weeks. The Rangers do not want to risk worse the injury if Carter is not completely healthy. He was scratched with quad -sling from Saturday evening.

“I think it's a bit worse than what everyone expected,” said Bochy. “Included him. He had the feeling of going yesterday, which says something about him because he was ready to play. So, yes, I think that surprised us.”

The 22-year-old Carter missed two thirds of the last season with a back injury and began this year at Triple-A Round Rock to continue his structure after a slow spring training. The Rangers reminded him of the small leagues on May 6th and reinstalled him as the team's everyday center after Leody Taveras had been put on gave declarations. Carter lowered .182/.270/.273 with a Homerun in 11 games.

It is the fifth time that a rangers player ended up on the injured list with muscle pollution this season. The catcher Kyle Higashioka (Interkostal Stamm), the Outfield Wyatt Langford (sloping trunk) and the shortstop Corey Seaager (twice) are the others.

The Rangers also selected the right -handed Cole Winn to Round Rock and remembered the right -handed Caleb Bushley. Winn, 25, threw 2 1/3 innings on Friday. Bouthley is fresh and has an ERA of 4.50 in 12 Innerings this season at the Major League level.
