Evan Carter has quelled swing concerns with strong minor-league and Cactus League showings, per team updates, solidifying his Rangers roster case against Leody Taveras. (Evan Grant)

Fantasy Impact:

Carter’s .222/.300/.296 line in 11 spring games, paired with recent hard-hit balls, counters Taveras’s .237/.310/.500 and 3 homers, pushing both toward the Rangers’ Opening Day roster. The center-field split remains unclear. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster Carter, banking on his upside for a significant role, especially if he outshines Taveras early in Texas’ outfield.
