Maximo Acosta, the Texas Rangers 18 year old shortstop out of Venezuela, had thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, per the beat guys on Twitter. Acosta will be out until spring training of 2022 rehabbing. Meanwhile, 18 year old Evan Carter, the Rangers outfielder who was their second round pick in 2020, had soreness while rehabbing his back, and so he will not be returning to Down East this year, per the beats. He is expected to return during Instructionals.
Disappointing injury news for arguably the two highest ceiling prospects the Rangers have. Acosta was generating exceptional reviews when he first signed with the Rangers, but has been slowed this summer in the ACL, presumably due to the TOS.
