Tuesday’s roster moves saw Josh Sborz placed on IL, while Glenn Otto was designated for assignment.
But with Leody Taveras’ continued dropoff in centerfield and lack of production from the left-handed components of the Rangers’ left-field platoon, Carter could have a role against right-handed pitching. Travis Jankowski and JP Martinez, the two left-handed options, have batted a composite .182 with a .217 OBP since August 14.“We’ve not ruled anything out,” Young said. “We’re looking at ways to put the best lineup out there to face righties and to face lefties on a given night.
In 411 plate appearances against right-handers this season, Carter has a .423 OBP and .917 OPS. Carter has also gotten off to a hot start at Triple-A, batting .360 with a .448 OBP in his first six games heading into Tuesday. There is nothing wrong with the right-handed side of the Rangers’ platoon. Robbie Grossman is hitting .320/.405/.516/.921 against left-handers. Houston started lefty Framber Valdez on Tuesday.McCormick, batting seventh tonight, has a 1.321 OPS against the Rangers in 32 plate appearances this year. Ohtani, who gets another shot against the Rangers if he’s still playing the last week of the season, is at 1.318 with five homers.
It’s still a long way from the worst Rangers killers of all time. Who is that you ask? Mike Trout? Tim Salmon? Miguel Cabrera? All good guesses but Ken Griffey Jr. put up a 1.747 against the Rangers in 51 plate appearances in strike-shortened 1994. Yep, the strike saved the Rangers from further beatings.
