Morning, all!
Evan Carter’s back injury is perhaps more serious than anticipated, as he’s not even going to return to baseball activities for at least a month. Seeing as how this is the second major back injury of his young career I think he put all of his attribute points in “gamer” and “grit” and none in ““functional spine.”
The issue is a “stress reaction” in his back, which is not quite a stress fracture but it’s also not not a stress fracture, either.
Jon Gray and Max Scherzer are close to returning from the IL, though it seems like the Rangers’ problems of late aren’t on the mound.
