Rangers Notes

Adolis García is 5-11 during the club's 3-game win streak with two home runs, two doubles, six RBI and five R. His American League-high 21 RBI at home are the second-most in Major League Baseball, behind the 22 by Colorado’s C.J. Cron (per Rangers PR).

Rangers Injury Report

10-Day/15-Day Injured List

C Mitch Garver (flexor strain): Garver began a rehab assignment with Double A Frisco on Tuesday and went 0-2 with two walks. The Rangers transferred him to Triple A Round Rock on Wednesday. Once he re-joins the Rangers, he’ll serve as a designated hitter as his flexor strain continues to heal.

RHP Albert Abreu (ankle sprain): Abreu struggled in his past couple outings and the Rangers needed room for Jon Gray on the active roster (Gray earned his first win of the season on Monday). Abreu will start a rehab assignment at Triple A Round Rock on Wednesday.

RHP Spencer Patton (right oblique strain): Patton went on rehab assignment to Round Rock on Tuesday and was subsequently optioned back to Round Rock last Wednesday. He’s pitched three times for the Express since May 10, winning two games in relief.

60-Day Injured List

RHP Jonathan Hernández (Tommy John surgery): Progressing well in rehab. Eligible to return June 6, though he might be a bit behind that timeline.

RHP José Leclerc (Tommy John surgery): Like Hernández, Leclerc is also progressing well in rehab and is eligible to return on June 6. Leclerc is a bit ahead in his timeline and could return upon eligibility.
