26 Avisail Garcia RF

Garcia returned to the lineup Saturday and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a 17-7 loss to Texas.

Garcia, who had missed the previous two games due to a wrist injury, was back in the cleanup spot for the White Sox. The 26-year-old outfielder has battled through a number of injuries this season while maintaining strong numbers along the way.

Garcia (wrist) is starting in right field and hitting cleanup Saturday against the Rangers.

He missed the last two games with a wrist injury, but is ready to return against lefty Martin Perez. Garcia has missed 15 games since the All-Star break, and while he has cooled off a little, he is still producing (.294/.351/.441) when he has been in the lineup in the second half.

Garcia (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Rangers.

After suffering from soreness in his wrist Thursday, Garcia was hopeful to return in time for Friday's game but is unable to start, leaving the door open for Alen Hanson to bat eighth and take his place in right field. It'll be the second consecutive game Garcia will not be in the starting nine, but figures to return at some point over the weekend unless deeper problems concerning his wrist are discovered.

Garcia (wrist) hopes to return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Garcia was a late scratch Thursday due to some wrist soreness that had cropped up earlier in the day, but he told reporters that it had already improved by the end of Chicago's series opening loss to the Rangers. Provided that Garcia's wrist soreness continues to subside in the lead-up to first pitch Friday, he figures to rejoin the lineup. However, if the White Sox opt to give him an extra day off, look for Alen Hanson to take over in right field.

Garcia was scratched from Thursday's lineup due to a sore left wrist and he is considered day-to-day, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

He was a late scratch ahead of first pitch Thursday for an undisclosed issue, but the team has since announced that Garcia is battling a wrist issue. While the ailment is not expected to sideline Garcia for long, the White Sox could be cautious and give him the time he needs to get his wrist back to 100 percent. With that, Alen Hanson could pick up some starts in the interim.
