The 22-year-old outfielder plated the Rangers’ lone run in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Seth Lugo in the fourth inning. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. It has been a struggle for him in his limited action with the big league club, slashing a woeful .161/.297/.161 with a 10/5 K/BB ratio in his first 37 plate appearances.

Carter takes a seat with lefty Kris Bubic toeing the rubber for Kansas City in this one. The 22-year-old former top prospect has been on a roll over the past few weeks, hitting .293 (12-for-41) with three homers and three steals over his last 15 games. It’ll be Sam Haggerty getting a chance in left field and occupying the leadoff spot in his place on Wednesday night.

Smith will sit out his second straight contest due to a lingering minor left hamstring issue. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy downplayed concern earlier this week and it sounds like the reigning American League Player of the Week will avoid a trip to the injured list. I’ll be Ezequiel Duran taking over at DH on Wednesday night in his absence.

As Feinsand notes, the Angels “have been hesitant to trade Ward during the past two years,” but he has a near $8 million salary and only one more year of club control, so this could finally be the time. Ward has 18 home runs in his first 69 games this season while also driving in 47 runs with a .741 OPS. He ranks in the 86th percentile in barrel rate and the 87th percentile in chase rate this season, and really turned his year around after a slow start. Feinsand lists the Guardians, Padres, Rays and Royals as potential trade partners.

Most importantly, Chandler walked one after his struggles with command before. Still, throwing only 42 of 79 pitches for strikes is not ideal. He struck out three and is still too good to be staying at Triple-A. We’re not sure what the Pirates are asking him to work out in Triple-A, but he can likely do that in MLB games as well.
