With Jordan Montgomery in town to receive his ring, the Rangers made some surprising roster moves with the pitching staff and pair of rookie outfielders.
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi takes the ball from catcher Jonah Heim after having given two runs to the Arizona Diamondbacks during the second inning of a baseball game Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in Arlington, Texas.for not re-signing him, it was hardly evident when he accepted his ring from Bruce Bochy 20 minutes before game time. Monty hugged the manager and got a bear hug from GM Chris Young.
On Tuesday, they found out a reasonable cause: Carter was continuing to try to play through a stiff lower back. Carter had missed a week with it earlier this month, then came back and found himself not playing against left-handers. As it turns out, Carter had perhaps been trying to play his way back to more full-time status despite still having stiffness.“It was probably bothering him more than we knew,” Bochy said. “It was pretty evident in some of the at-bats.
The IL placement gives him a chance to get the kinks out of his back and perhaps also out of his approach. When Langford went to the IL in early May with the hamstring injury, the Rangers also used it as kind of a “reset,” to allow him to break out of some bad habits that had formed. Even though he was aware of what was happening with his swing, the regular playing time made it harder to apply fixes.
