Evan Carter and Leody Taveras may split center field duties to start the season, per team updates, with Carter facing righties and Taveras taking lefties for the Rangers. (Kennedi Landry)

Fantasy Impact:

Carter’s 5 strikeouts in 7 at-bats versus lefties this spring, beside Taveras’ .154/.214/.153 in 13, sets up a Rangers platoon, per Bruce Bochy’s optimism on their recent squaring up. Carter’s lefty woes linger. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his bat for runs and steals against right-handers in Texas’ 2025 outfield if the split holds.
