Rangers put struggling slugger Adolis García on IL and activate Evan Carter
Adolis García was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained ankle while Evan Carter was activated after missing 10 games due to back spasms, the Texas Rangers said.
- On August 13, 2025, the Texas Rangers sidelined outfielder Adolis Garcia due to a left ankle sprain, placing him on a 10-day injury list, while recalling Evan Carter from the injured list in Arlington, Texas.
- Garcia has been struggling offensively this season, batting.224 with 16 home runs and 64 runs batted in across 116 contests, including a.176 average over the recent nine-game stretch. As he was sidelined, Carter returned to action following a back injury that kept him out since early August.
- Before his injury, Garcia hit.238 with four home runs and 21 RBIs in 55 games but experienced mental lapses and a decline in strikeout and walk rates, while Carter completed a minor league rehab stint at Double-A Frisco before rejoining the team.
- Rangers manager Bruce Bochy mentioned that Garcia can ease up a bit during his time off, while also expressing cautious optimism about Carter, 22, who may benefit from additional at-bats to regain his form.
- These roster changes come as the Rangers chase a wild-card berth, with Garcia expected to return after the minimum IL period and Carter stepping into the outfield amid lineup adjustments due to injuries to other players.
