2025 Injury Report: Updates on Carter, Roupp, Perkins

It was a busy day on the injury front on August 22. Many notable players came off the injured list, including 2025 All-Star Jacob Wilson. However, there were also updates on Landen Roupp and Evan Carter, both of whom had to be placed on the injured list.

Carter out with fractured wrist

The Rangers placed outfielder Evan Carter on the IL on the 22nd, the third time he’s landed there this season. This time, it’s for a fractured right wrist.

Carter previously spent time on the injured list this season with a quad strain and back spasms. Now, add a fractured wrist — an injury that could end his 2025 season — to the list.

Additionally, Marcus Semien, who left the Rangers’ game yesterday, did not play on the 22nd against the Guardians.

In more positive news, Adolis Garcia took live BP and could return this weekend.

Roupp landed on IL

The Giants officially placed Landen Roupp on the 15-day IL, retroactive to August 21. It’s for a left knee sprain. Carson Whisenhunt was recalled to replace Roupp.

Roupp sustained the injury on August 20 and was carted off the field.
