"Garcia has a 3.38 ERA over eight innings despite recording more walks (seven) than strikeouts (six). Batted-ball luck has played a role, as Garcia has benefited from a .238 BABIP and a 52.4% grounder rate."
"The Rangers can hardly afford to lose Garcia to the injury bug, given how fellow relievers Chris Martin, Luis Curvelo, and Carter Baumler are already on the 15-day IL."
"Grayson Rodriguez and Alek Manoah are both expected to start facing hitters in a live batting-practice setting within the next few days, as they recover from shoulder inflammation and a finger contusion, respectively."
"Kirby Yates began the year on the 15-day IL due to left knee inflammation, but the reliever started a Triple-A rehab assignment on Friday, working on building up his velocity and gaining some weight."
Robert Garcia experienced shoulder soreness after a relief appearance, leading to an MRI to assess potential damage. While results are pending, the manager believes the injury isn't serious, though Garcia may require extra rest. His performance this season has been inconsistent, with a 3.38 ERA and more walks than strikeouts. The Rangers are concerned about losing him, especially with other relievers already on the injured list. Meanwhile, updates on other injured pitchers in the AL West indicate several are nearing returns from the 15-day IL.
