Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Stars in CF
Rotowire
Garcia started in center field and went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 11-7 win over Philadelphia.
The Rangers need to adjust to center fielder Leody Taveras (oblique) being on the injured list to start the season, and Garcia will be one option in center. Bubba Thompson, who came off the bench later in the game, will also be in the mix. When Thompson starts, Garcia is expected to be in right field.
Garcia started in center field and went 0-for-4 in Monday's exhibition game against the Royals.
Garcia, who will also start in center Tuesday, is getting reps there because Leody Taveras (oblique) is still about a week away, according to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. Texas manager Bruce Bochy wants to keep his center field options open until Taveras returns, and Garcia and Bubba Thompson appear to be the primary fill-ins.
