• Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Power bat early

  Rotowire Apr 2, 2024

  Garcia went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over Tampa Bay. Garcia's power bat has been on display early for the Rangers. Three of his four hits this season have cleared fences, and he leads Texas with six RBI through four games. One development that could impact Garcia going forward is the wrist injury suffered by Josh Jung, who provided support behind Garcia in the order. Jung was off to a fast start with a 1.415 OPS and four extra-base hits prior to getting hit by a pitch on the wrist in the ninth inning Monday. Pitchers weren't able to pitch around Garcia, knowing an equally fearsome hitter awaited.

• Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Homers in debut

  Rotowire Mar 6, 2024

  Garcia started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's spring game against Colorado. Garcia made his Cactus League debut and homered in his second at-bat. He'd been dealing with an oblique strain, which kept him out of the first 12 Cactus League games, but he's been getting plate appearances in during B games and working on his swing. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that he expects Garcia to play in the field soon.

• Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Cleared for spring debut

  Rotowire Mar 6, 2024

  Garcia (oblique) will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Rockies. Though Garcia didn't report to spring training with any limitations, the Rangers nonetheless chose to take a deliberate approach with him in the early stages of camp after he suffered a moderate left oblique strain during the World Series last October. Now that he'll be making his Cactus League debut Wednesday, Garcia is likely to begin accelerating his buildup program ahead of Opening Day. The 31-year-old should once again find himself in a regular spot in the heart of the Texas lineup after slugging at least 27 home runs and driving in at least 90 runs in each of his first three full seasons with the Rangers.

The outfielder will be under team control for one additional year in 2026, as well, before reaching free agency.

• Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Crushes grand slam in win

  Rotowire Oct 23, 2023

  Garcia went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Astros in Game 6 of the ALCS. Making his return following an ejection in Friday's outing, Garcia looked to be pressing at the plate after striking out in his first four at-bats. However, he managed to find his power stroke in the ninth, launching a grand slam off Ryne Stanek to quash any hopes of the Astros making a comeback in the bottom of the inning. Garcia is now riding a three-game homer streak as he propels his team forward in the ALCS. The slugging outfielder's five home runs in 11 games this postseason put him in a four-way tie for second-most in this year's playoffs. During the postseason, Garcia has slashed .277/.306/.617 with 13 runs and 15 RBI.
