Rotowire
Garcia went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.
Garcia recorded hits in each of his first three trips to the plate, topping things off with an RBI double in the fifth before coming around to score following a fielding error from Luis Robert. It marked only the second three-hit game of the season for Garcia and his first multi-hit game in July. He's still batting just .169 this month following Wednesday's performance, though he's now hit safely and driven in at least one run in back-to-back contests while also swiping two bags over that stretch to put him at nine steals on the season.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Goes deep in loss
Rotowire
Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to the Brewers.
Garcia gave the Rangers a 3-1 lead with his sixth-inning blast, though the advantage was wiped out on a Rhys Hoskins grand slam in the bottom of the frame.

Garcia is tied for the Rangers' lead with 14 long balls on the season, but he's below pace to match the 39 homers and 107 RBI he racked up last year.
Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Not playing field yet
Rotowire
Garcia served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Phillies.
Garcia made a second consecutive start at DH after missing two games with a right forearm injury. It's unclear when he will resume defensive duties, but as long as he's contributing at the plate, that shouldn't matter much. The home run was the team-leading 12th for Garcia, who also leads the Rangers with 36 RBI.
Garcia (forearm) will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
The Rangers held Garcia out of the lineup for the past two games while he contended with right forearm discomfort, but he's made enough improvement to enter the starting nine Wednesday, albeit in a non-defensive role. Provided the injury doesn't affect his throwing for too much longer, Garcia should be ready to return to his usual spot in right field in the coming days.
