Outfielder Adolis Garcia was scratched from Tuesday&rsquo;s spring training game and is set to undergo an MRI on his left oblique, raising concerns about his availability for the team&rsquo;s season opener against the Boston Red Sox on March 27.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I&rsquo;m going to be talking about 2023 adolis garcia for a very long time. wishing my goat a speedy recovery &#128420;<\/p>&mdash; Lorenzo (@00htani) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/00htani\/status\/1896997786593452528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Adolis Garcia&rsquo;s absence forced a last-minute lineup change, with Jake Burger stepping in as the designated hitter.

The two-time All-Star slashed .224\/.305\/.418 with 24 home runs and 85 RBIs in 154 games, numbers that fell short of the dominant performance he showcased in 2022. So far this spring, he has collected six hits and two walks in 21 plate appearances, showing early signs of improvement.<\/p><p>If Garcia&rsquo;s injury turns out to be significant, Texas will need to explore contingency plans in the outfield. With Corey Seager already nursing an injury and the team looking to compete again after their World Series win in 2023, losing Garcia for any stretch of time would be a tough blow.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/luis-gil-injury-update-yankees-rotation-takes-major-hit-without-2024-standout-pitcher\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Luis Gil injury update: Yankees rotation takes major hit without 2024 standout pitcher<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>While the severity of the injury remains unknown, oblique strains can be tricky, often requiring weeks, sometimes months, of recovery.<\/p><p>For now, his Opening Day status remains up in the air.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adolis Garcia has pain in his oblique<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":25601,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4226,4227],"class_list":["post-25600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-adolis-garcia","tag-texas-rangers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
