The Texas Rangers announced today that outfielder Evan Carter has been optioned to AAA Round Rock, pitcher Dane Dunning has been outrighted to AAA Round Rock, and outfielder Sam Haggerty has been assigned to AAA Round Rock.
We discussed the Carter decision a little earlier this afternoon, when Chris Young announced certain decisions that had been made in regards to the Opening Day roster. Carter was simply not right this spring at the plate, struggling against both righties and lefties and not making good contact. The plan would appear to be to let Carter get an opportunity to play every day in Round Rock and get the rust shaken off, after he missed the final four months of the 2024 season.
