Carter has given you the rule. In practical terms, if the ball has ANY chance of becoming fair, the runner is out. If the ball is bounding foul and he is picking it up to give it back to the pitcher, don't get overly officious and start calling outs just becasue he touched a foul ball. Depending on the circumstances, I still might tell him to leave it alone.
But I am also giving the benefit of the doubt to the defense, as the runner should be leaving the ball alone. If there is a chance it could become fair, R3 is out.
