Adolis Garcia Available Off Bench For Game 4
1 year agoTexas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (oblique) isn't starting in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but he'll be available off the bench after working out. Travis Jankowski will make the start in right field and will bat ninth against Diamondbacks left-handed opener Joe Mantiply. According to RangersToday.com's Jeff Wilson, Garcia suffered a moderate left-oblique strain in his final at-bat in Game 3 on Monday night. There's a chance the 30-year-old slugger could miss the remainder of the World Series, which would be a huge blow to the Rangers' offense the rest of the way, as Garcia has eight home runs and 22 RBI this postseason and was named the ALCS MVP. Jankowski hit .263 (65-for-247) during the year with only one home run but with 19 steals. He has a hit in two at-bats in five playoff games and has not faced Mantiply in his career.
