OAKLAND – Although his playing time has diminished significantly since early August, Astros slugger Chris Carter vows to continue working to help the club when A.J. Hinch calls on him again.
“We’re trying to win here,” Carter said. “A.J’s trying to put the best team on the field that he thinks is going to win, so it’s a manager’s decision.”
Carter shows up for early batting practice at least once a week and takes extra swings in the indoor cages daily.
“It’s just hard to get those consistent reps in,” Carter said. “It’s something you have to keep working on every day.
