Overview

  • Adolis García was scratched from a spring training game due to left oblique soreness and is undergoing an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
  • Manager Bruce Bochy described the strain as mild and expressed hope for a quick recovery, but García is expected to miss some time, with his Opening Day availability uncertain.
  • This is the same oblique García injured during the Rangers' 2023 World Series run, which sidelined him for the final two games of the series.
  • Fellow outfielder Wyatt Langford, also recovering from an oblique injury, may return to spring training action this week, adding to the team's outfield depth concerns.
  • García, coming off a disappointing 2024 season, had been working on improving his swing mechanics and aiming for a strong 2025 campaign, including a goal of 50 home runs.
