Rangers Activate Adolis Garcia From Injured List Saturday

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy announced that outfielder Adolis García will be activated off the injured list for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians after completing the minimum 10-day absence due to a left ankle sprain. García participated in live batting practice prior to Friday's game and expressed feeling physically ready to return, which Bochy endorsed based on García's approach and timing during practice. Despite a challenging offensive season with a .224/.266/.388 slash line, 16 home runs, and 64 RBIs, García's return will bolster the Rangers' outfield, especially following the season-ending injury to Evan Carter and the continued absence of Sam Haggerty. García is expected to reclaim his regular starting spot in right field, likely resulting in roster adjustments such as sending Michael Helman back to Triple-A. This move aims to stabilize the Rangers' outfield defense and provide lineup consistency as they contend with injuries. García had not played since August 12 and has struggled offensively but remains a key player for the Rangers moving forward.
