Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) exited Saturday's contest versus the Los Angeles Dodgers after getting nailed in the right hand by a pitch. Fortunately, X-Rays were negative, although that doesn't mean he'll be available for the series finale on Sunday. Garcia, who went hitless in one at-bat on Saturday, should be considered day-to-day.

During the third inning, Raleigh smacked a home run against Blue Jays' pitcher, Kevin Gausman. In the fifth inning, the 26-year-old catcher cranked another bomb off Gausman.

The organization was hopeful […]
