Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.
Garcia crushed his 19th homer of the year and his first of the month of September. The veteran outfielder has been quite disappointing in 2025 -- his .665 OPS is a career worst, and he's in jeopardy of turning in his first season without 20 homers since becoming a full-time player in 2021. With a poor .227 batting average over 503 at-bats to boot, Garcia might be a tough player to rank in 2026.

Rotowire

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Still bothered by quad
Rotowire
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged prior to Sunday's game against the Marlins that Garcia is still not 100 percent recovered from the Grade 2 right quadriceps strain he sustained Sept. 1, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The quad issue forced Garcia to the injured list Sept. 5, though he was activated this past Sunday. Since returning to action, Garcia had gone just 1-for-18 with four strikeouts, and the lingering effects of the injury could help explain his struggles at the plate. Garcia was held out of the lineup Sunday for the second day in a row, and with the 79-76 Rangers on the cusp of being eliminated from wild-card contention, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed more time during the final week of the regular season.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Hitless in return
Rotowire
Garcia went 0-for-4 in Sundays 5-2 extra-inning loss to the Mets.
Garcia was activated from the injured list after missing 10 games with a quadriceps injury. He recorded three putouts in the field, including a sliding catch, which tested the quad. Prior to the injury, Garcia had been on a roll at the plate, batting .368 (14-for-38) with six extra-base hits (two home runs), nine RBI, three steals and 10 runs scored over nine contests.
The Rangers reinstated Garcia (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in right field and batting cleanup Sunday versus the Mets.
The outfielder landed on the shelf in early September due to a quadriceps strain, but he'll end up spending little more than the 10-day minimum on the injured list. Garcia will look to pick up where he left off, as he had an .867 OPS with eight doubles and three homers in the 18 games preceding his absence.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Racks up three hits in win
Rotowire
Garcia went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.
Garcia has swung a hot bat since returning from a minimal stay on the injured list due to an ankle issue. He's gone 12-for-29 (.414) over seven games since his activation, adding two homers, four doubles, eight RBI and three steals in that span. The outfielder has largely had a middling season, but his recent surge has him up to a .236/.278/.411 slash line with 18 homers, 72 RBI, 54 runs scored, 13 steals and 28 doubles across 123 contests. He should continue to see a starting role in right field, especially since Evan Carter's season-ending wrist injury has depleted the Rangers' outfield depth.
