"Adolis García is out of the Rangers' lineup today in Arizona. He pulled up while beating out a force play in the ninth inning of last night's contest. He gingerly came around to score on Jake Burger's RBI triple but was lifted for defensive replacement Alejandro Osuna in the next half-inning. Manager Bruce Bochy revealed this evening that García has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right quad strain (via the MLB.com injury tracker)."
"Texas already has Marcus Semien, Evan Carter, Corey Seager and Sam Haggerty on the injured list. Infielder Justin Foscue is their only healthy position player who is on optional assignment. He has three hits in 51 career big league at-bats and doesn't have any kind of outfield experience. The Rangers already have Burger, Ezequiel Duran and Dylan Moore as infielders on the MLB bench. Foscue wouldn't play much even if they recalled him."
"They could select a non-roster outfielder like Billy McKinney or Dustin Harris. They're operating with at least one free 40-man roster spot since can be transferred to the 60-day injured list after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. Ideally, neither McKinney nor Harris would get much playing time as Texas tries to run down a Wild Card spot. They'll hold out hope for a quicker return from García rather than bringing anyone else up."
Adolis García has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right quad strain and is out of the Rangers' lineup. A Grade 2 strain is moderate and often leads to an injured list stint, but the team has delayed a roster move because of limited upper-minors position-player depth. Texas already has Marcus Semien, Evan Carter, Corey Seager and Sam Haggerty on the injured list, leaving Justin Foscue as the only healthy option on optional assignment with minimal outfield experience. The Rangers could call up a non-roster outfielder such as Billy McKinney or Dustin Harris, but the club hopes for a quicker García return. García is unlikely to play for at least a few days, and Alejandro Osuna will handle right field in the interim while García continues a recent hitting hot streak.
