Texas Rangers rookie Evan Carter likely will miss the rest of the regular season because of a lumbar sprain in his back that has limited the outfielder to 45 games.

A big part of Rangers' World Series title run last year, Carter hasn't played since May 26. He had several setbacks when trying to ramp up his hitting progression.

General manager Chris Young said Tuesday that Carter has seen several specialists in the past week who determined the 21-year-old needs a lengthy period of rest without rotational activity in his back.
