Adolis Garcia Still Resting in Series Finale on Sunday
Adolis Garcia is still out of the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals at Globe Life Field as the Rangers continue to give him a mental break. Sam Haggerty is starting in right field and will bat ninth against Cardinals right-hander Erick Fedde. The Rangers have benched Garcia now for a third straight game as they hope that a little mental break will get him out of his season-long slump at the plate. The 32-year-old Cuban slugger has slashed a disappointing .208/.256/.371 with a .626 OPS, seven home runs, 27 RBI, 16 runs and five stolen bases in 197 at-bats. He hit just .189 (17-for-90) with three homers, four doubles, 12 RBI, a steal, six runs and 29 strikeouts in 26 games in May. Haggerty will have little DFS upside in the nine-hole and has gone hitless against Fedde in two career at-bats.
