BOSTON (AP) 鈥� The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Evan Carter on the 10-day injured list because of an oblique strain.
The team announced the move before Saturday鈥檚 game against the Boston Red Sox.
Carter left Friday鈥檚 game after making a diving catch in the fourth inning. The 23-year-old is batting .176 with six home runs and 21 RBIs over 66 games this season.
Taking Carter鈥檚 spot on the Rangers鈥� roster is infielder Cody Freeman, who was in Saturday鈥檚 starting lineup. Freeman appeared in one game for Texas earlier this month and was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock.
For the second straight day, the Rangers had a starting lineup that didn鈥檛 include All-Star shortstop Corey Seager.
Texas manager Skip Schumaker said Seager was 鈥渄ay to day鈥� before Saturday鈥檚 game. Seager reportedly felt soreness after a home plate collision that occurred during the first inning of Thursday鈥檚 game against Kansas City.
鈥淎 lot better today, but not enough to play,鈥� Schumaker said.
Also, the Rangers added right-hander Joe Ross and optioned right-hander Luis Curvelo. Texas signed the 33-year-old Ross to a minor-league deal last month. He had a 2.92 ERA in seven games at Triple-A Round Rock.
