Adolis Garcia Remains on the Bench
Adolis Garcia will start yet another game on the bench on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Alejandro Osuna is starting in right field and will bat fifth against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen. The Rangers are giving Garcia a mental break for the fourth straight game during a season-long slump to this point. The 32-year-old Cuban outfielder and former two-time All-Star has slashed .208/.256/.371 with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 16 runs scored, five stolen bases, 11 walks and 57 strikeouts in 215 plate appearances. He was even worse in May, slashing .189/.224/.333 with a near-30% strikeout rate in 26 games. As the Rangers are doing, fantasy managers need to follow suit and continue to keep Garcia on the bench. It's unclear when he'll return to action.
