    • Dealing with back tightness
      Carter was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with lower-back tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 21-year-old missed some time in mid-May due to a back issue, and it apparently remains bothersome as the month comes to a close. Carter is without a hit in his past 20 at-bats, and the injury could help explain some of those struggles. It's unclear how long the young outfielder is expected to be sidelined, but the organization will likely want him to get some at-bats in the minors before he rejoins the big club.

    • Slumping Evan Carter hits IL with back tightness
      Rangers placed OF Evan Carter on the 10-day injured list with a back sprain.

      Advice: Carter will ostensibly swap places with fellow top prospect Wyatt Langford as he’ll get some extra time off in an effort to reset mentally after batting just .165 (15-for-91) with three homers and one steal over his last 30 contests. The 21-year-old top prospect hits the shelf in the midst of an 0-for-20 hitless streak at the dish dating back to May 10. It’s far too early to be concerned long-term with Carter, but this season has certainly been an unexpected speed bump following last year’s stellar late-season debut and playoff performance.

    • Headed to injured list
      The Rangers will place Carter (undisclosed) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Carter has missed some time this month with a back issue, although it's unclear whether that's the injury that's sending him to the IL. The young outfielder is hitless over his last nine contests and has struggled mightily so far this season, slashing just .188/.272/.361. It's not clear how long Carter might be sidelined.

    • Slump continues
      Carter went 0-for-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

      Advice: Carter's hitless run reached 20 consecutive at-bats, and he's just two for his last 38. With Wyatt Langford (hamstring) possibly set to return Tuesday, the Rangers could send Carter back down to the minors to fix whatever is not working for him right now.

    • Clubs 12th homer
      Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run, a double and two walks in Friday's loss to Cincinnati.

      Advice: Hernandez also reached on a hit-by-pitch, so he got on base in all five of his plate appearances. Both of the outfielder's hits went for extra bases, and his ninth-inning solo homer was his first long ball in 12 games. Hernandez has been a strong addition to the Dodgers' high-octane offense, as he's tied for 10th in the league with 12 homers and ranks seventh with 38 RBI. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:44 am
       
    • Resting Saturday
      Soler isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus the Mets.

      Advice: After going 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's victory, Soler will now get his first day off since returning from the injured list May 17. His absence will move Patrick Bailey into the DH spot, allowing Curt Casali to pick up a start behind the plate while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:40 am
       
    • Evan Carter batting ninth on Saturday for Rangers
      Evan Carter is batting ninth on Saturday against the Twins.

      Advice: Carter has batted pretty much everywhere in the Rangers’ lineup this season, but he’s been dropped to the ninth spot after batting .136 (6-for-44) with 16 strikeouts and only four walks over his last 15 contests. There are no easy answers here for fantasy managers, but the 21-year-old top prospect simply isn’t producing enough at the moment to make an impact. It’s tough to bail on him completely in re-draft formats, but the underlying batted ball data doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence in an immediate rebound. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:38 am
       
    • Doubles twice in loss
      Betts went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a walk in Friday's loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Betts led the game off with a single, knocked an RBI double in the second inning and added another double in the fourth. He entered Friday in a small slump, going 4-for-22 (.182) over his previous six contests. Despite the skid, he's hitting .291 through 20 games this month. Betts is slashing .338/.438/.554 with 25 extra-base hits through 240 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:01 pm

    • Teoscar Hernádez homers in loss
      Teoscar Hernádez went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, double, two walks, and two runs scored in a loss to the Reds on Friday.

      Advice: Hernádez’s ninth inning home run cut the Reds’ lead to three, but to no avail for the Dodgers. The homer was his 12th of the season, just one behind Shohei Ohtani for the team-lead and his two walks raised his walk rate near 9%. That would be the most Hernádez has walked since 2019. He’s chasing far less than he has in years past, too. That and him hitting in the middle of the Dodgers’ potent lineup has made him one of the best run producers in the league so far this season.
