Benched Rangers OF Adolis Garcia working on mechanics
June 2 - Slumping Texas Rangers slugger Adolis Garcia was out of the starting lineup for the third straight day Sunday when the Rangers closed a series against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Garcia has been struggling all season and went 5-for-41 (.122) with 18 strikeouts over his past 10 appearances. He posted one homer and three RBIs during the stretch. The Rangers have requested that Garcia work on his mechanics in hopes he can rediscover his 2023 form, when he established career highs of 39 homers and 107 RBIs. Garcia was an All-Star for the second time that season and also smacked eight homers in the postseason as Texas won the World Series. "We need him to kind of commit to some of these changes that we think will get him back to the '23 version of himself and help him be the player that we know he can be," Texas general manager Chris Young said before the Sunday contest against St. Louis. Garcia is batting just .208 and slugging .371 with seven homers and 27 RBIs in 56 games this season. Garcia acknowledged that the break could be beneficial. "It's about the mental reset and coming back with more energy," García said. "I'm working on some stuff without the pressure of having to do something up there." Garcia, 32, has been a staple in the Texas lineup since the start of the 2021 season. He has 129 homers, 410 RBIs and a .237 average in 687 games with the Rangers. Texas also placed right-hander Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list. The move is retroactive to Thursday. Eovaldi, 35, exited Tuesday's start against the Toronto Blue Jays after two innings due to right triceps soreness. "With the flexibility in the rotation, we felt like this is the appropriate thing to make sure that we get him right," Young said. "Structurally, everything looks really good. We took a picture. Everything looks really good. We just gotta get this triceps thing calmed down. We anticipate that he'll be ready at the end of the 15-day mark." The loss of Eovaldi rates as a big blow. He entered Sunday's play ranked second in the majors with a 1.56 ERA and is 4-3 with 73 strikeouts in 69 1/3 innings over 12 starts. Texas recalled right-hander reliever Codi Heuer from Triple-A Round Rock to fill Eovaldi's spot on the active roster. To make room for Heuer on their 40-man roster, the Rangers designated catcher Tucker Barnhart for assignment. Barnhart, 34, was 3-for-13 (.231) in eight appearances for Texas. The 28-year-old Heuer is 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA in 19 appearances at Round Rock. --Field Level Media

Nathan Eovaldi dominates Tigers as Rangers win series
May 11 - Nathan Eovaldi allowed just two hits in seven scoreless innings as the visiting Texas Rangers downed the Detroit Tigers 6-1 on Sunday afternoon. Eovaldi (4-2) walked one and struck out seven while recording his fifth consecutive quality start. He has won all four of his career starts at Detroit's Comerica Park. Chris Martin, Jacob Latz and Robert Garcia pitched the last two innings to complete the victory. Marcus Semien and Josh Jung supplied two-run homers and Jonah Heim added a solo shot. Jung's brother Jace started at third base for Detroit. According to the Rangers' media relations department, Josh Jung's homer was the first by a player while playing against his brother on Mother's Day since at least 1969. Adolis Garcia had two hits and scored two runs. Corey Seager was out of the lineup due to hamstring tightness. He smacked two solo home runs and an RBI double on Saturday. Detroit starter Reese Olson (4-3) allowed three runs and seven hits with five strikeouts in four innings. Spencer Torkelson ended the shutout bid with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Texas won the last two games of the three-game weekend series. The Rangers got on the board in the second. Garcia led off with a double down the left field line. Semien then jumped on the first pitch he saw for a two-run homer, which cleared the wall in left-center. Texas loaded the bases later in the inning on singles by Jung and Ezequiel Duran and a walk to Josh Smith. Olson escaped further damage by retiring Wyatt Langford on a flyout. Riley Greene led off the bottom of the inning with a double off the wall. Eovaldi induced three groundouts to leave the score at 2-0. Texas scored another run in the third. Garcia had a one-out single, stole second and scored on Evan Carter's two-out bloop hit to right. The Rangers made it 5-0 with two outs in the fifth. Carter reached against Beau Brieske on an infield single before Jung blasted his two-run shot over the left-center field wall. Heim homered off Brant Hurter in the eighth. --Field Level Media

Corey Seager leads homer parade as Rangers blast Tigers
May 11 - Corey Seager hit two solo home runs and an RBI double as the Texas Rangers ended a three-game losing streak with a 10-3 win over the host Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Seager's second multi-homer game this season led a five-homer barrage by Texas. Joc Pederson hit a two-run shot, while Josh Smith and Evan Carter supplied solo homers. Adolis Garcia drove in two runs. Winning pitcher Jacob deGrom (3-1) lasted five-plus innings, giving up two runs and five hits while striking out a season-high 10. He fanned six consecutive batters in the first and second innings. Kerry Carpenter had a single, triple and homer for Detroit. Riley Greene added a solo homer for the Tigers, who saw their five-game winning streak snapped. Detroit starter Jack Flaherty (1-5) gave up five runs and four hits -- all homers -- in three innings. The four homers in one game were the most Flaherty's allowed in his career. The Rangers jumped on Flaherty early. Smith ripped a 2-2 slider over the right field wall. One out later, Seager flipped a 3-1 fastball over the right-center field wall. Detroit got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning as Carpenter drilled a 1-2 fastball over the right-center field wall. Leading off the second, Carter clubbed a Flaherty fastball over the right field wall for his first homer of the year and a 3-1 Texas lead. The long ball parade continued in the next inning. Wyatt Langford drew a leadoff walk and Pederson clubbed a 3-2 fastball over the right field wall for his first homer this season. DeGrom gave up two hits in the third but retired Colt Keith on a grounder, leaving the score at 5-1. Greene went to the opposite field on a full-count slider for his ninth homer in the bottom of the fourth. Texas extended its lead to 7-2 in the fifth. Langford walked again and scored on Seager's double to center. Following two more walks, Garcia hit a sacrifice fly. Seager's second homer of the game came off Tyler Holton while leading off the seventh. Gleyber Torres had an RBI groundout in the bottom of the eighth. --Field Level Media
