- The Texas Rangers recalled 22-year-old Evan Carter from Triple-A Round Rock while waiving 26-year-old Leody Taveras, who was claimed by the Seattle Mariners in early May 2025.
- This roster adjustment followed the Rangers placing Taveras on outright waivers after 30 games with a.241 batting average and eight RBIs, highlighting strategic balancing between youth and experience.
- Carter, who debuted late in the Rangers’ 2023 World Series run with strong postseason numbers, returns following back issues and a.221 average with 3 homers in Triple-A this year.
- Taveras, with six major league seasons at Texas including starting all five 2023 World Series games, joins the Mariners who will assume $3.25 million remaining on his one-year contract.
- This move illustrates the competitive and evolving nature of roster management, reflecting the Rangers’ focus on developing Carter while the Mariners seek to strengthen with Taveras.
