Carter also had two hits on Tuesday and is riding a seven-game hitting streak in which he’s gone 10-for-30 with a double, two triples, a home run, five RBI, and two steals. While his season-long numbers are not great, Carter could push for a return to the Rangers’ lineup if he can keep up his recent production for another few weeks.

Carter has reached base safely in all 17 games at Triple-A this season to go along with five stolen bases. He’s also swatted two home runs and has a 1.027 OPS over his last 10 games. The batting average leaves a little to be desired, and it’s possible he’s chasing too much out of the zone, but there’s a lot to like about what he’s doing at Triple-A right now.

Carter has been rounding into form a bit of late. While the hits haven’t been falling, he has just one strikeout in his last five games while taking six walks, clubbing a home run, and stealing three bases. He’s just 3-for-12 over that stretch, but the plate discipline and speed are nice to see as he tries to work his way back to the Rangers’ lineup.

Fortunately, it appears he avoided a break here. Carter was 0-for-3 before departing. He’s just 2-for-22 with no extra-base hits in six games for Round Rock, though he has walked seven times. Given his struggles, he might not be the choice for a callup if Wyatt Langford needs to go on the IL.
