Adolis García Dodges Major Injury, Expected to Be Ready for Opening Day

Rangers outfielder Adolis García received some positive news following his MRI for an oblique injury sustained on Tuesday. Manager Bruce Bochy informed reporters on Wednesday that the oblique strain is "pretty mild," and García is expected to be ready for Opening Day. The 32-year-old outfielder was an All-Star in 2023 and finished 14th in MVP voting before an injury in the World Series cut his breakout postseason short.
​
García experienced a significant decline in performance in 2024, posting a .224/.284/.400 slash line with a 0.3 WAR. Despite last year's struggles, those optimistic about the Rangers' playoff chances this season are counting on a rebound from García. His return to form will be crucial for the team's success as they aim to make a strong showing in the upcoming season.
