Adolis García surged back from the IL to spark Texas as the Rangers wrestle through injuries to teammates like Evan Carter, Marcus Semien, and Corey Seager. García went 9-for-20 (.450) with six extra-base hits, including two homers and a 1.450 OPS in five games, lifting a 5-1 homestand that seemed fragile at times. His new, disciplined approach—fewer pitches outside the zone and a compact two-strike swing—has altered the lineup’s rhythm and given Texas a clear offensive spark.

Bruce Bochy praised García’s focus, defense, and process, noting how the emphasis on planning and poise has paid off. The team now heads to Oakland for a pivotal road trip, hoping García’s hot stretch becomes a stable baseline rather than a fleeting echo of better days. The lineup remains thin behind him, but García’s play has become the engine driving Texas’ surge.
