The team optioned Dustin Harris back to Triple-A to make room for García, who is expected to start in right field and may also serve as a designated hitter against right-handed pitchers.

García's return is expected to influence playing time for other outfielders like Michael Helman and Alejandro Osuna, with García likely to start in right and Osuna moving to left.

Both García and manager Bruce Bochy expressed confidence in his ability to play the outfield upon return, marking an improvement from earlier concerns about his readiness.

The Rangers are also managing the health of other players, with Nathan Eovaldi undergoing follow-up imaging on his shoulder and pitcher Tyler Mahle nearing activation after rehab.

Rehab assignments for players like Sam Haggerty and Danny Coulombe are progressing well, with Coulombe expected to be activated early next week.

The Rangers transferred Jon Gray to the 60-day injured list due to thoracic outlet syndrome, ending his season and likely his tenure with the team, while Harris was called up to replace him.

The Texas Rangers have activated outfielder Adolis García from the 10-day injured list, marking a significant boost for their playoff push as he returns after missing 10 games with a strained right quad.

García, an All-Star and Gold Glove winner, was performing well before his injury, batting .235 with 18 home runs and 73 RBIs, and had recently hit .368 with two homers and nine RBIs.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy emphasized the importance of García's return, noting he was swinging well prior to injury and is expected to impact the team's lineup immediately.

Despite injuries to key players like Marcus Semien, Nathan Eovaldi, and Corey Seager, the Rangers are on a six-game winning streak and have the best record in the majors since late August, though they remain two games behind the Astros and Mariners in the AL West.

Key injured players, including Seager and Semien, are nearing returns, with Seager potentially back this weekend and Semien planning to resume batting practice soon.

In García's absence, the Rangers rotated players like Ezequiel Duran, Michael Helman, and Dustin Harris in right field, with Harris recently called up from Triple-A after a 17-game hitting streak.
