Adolis García Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Phillies were seeking lineup protection for first baseman Bryce Harper and more right-handed pop this offseason, which is why they brought in outfielder Adolis Garcia in free agency on a one-year deal. NBC Sports' Cole Weintraub writes that the Phillies are hoping Garcia can return to his 2022-23 form in Texas and slide into the team's cleanup spot. However, a cold spring from Garcia could push designated hitter Kyle Schwarber to the four-hole after he had a .955 OPS in 2025. The 32-year-old Garcia will start in right field in his first year in Philly, but he's a gamble in fantasy baseball drafts after posting a sub-.700 OPS in back-to-back seasons. His .675 OPS last year ranked 117th out of 123 qualified hitters, and he also hit fewer than 20 homers for the first time in his career. Still, there are worse players to take a chance on in a favorable hitting environment with plenty of RBI opportunities. Remember, Garcia hit 39 homers and drove in 107 runs just two seasons ago.

Cuban outfielder Adolis Garcia and the Philadelphia Phillies are finalizing a one-year, $10 million deal, pending a physical, on Monday, sources told Francys Romero. Garcia will head to the National League East and look to help a contending team as he tries to get back to his 2023 form, when he was named MVP of the American League Championship Series. The 32-year-old veteran will essentially be replacing Nick Castellanos, who is expected to be traded or released this offseason. The landing spot is an ideal one for Garcia in a hitter-friendly ballpark in a stacked lineup in Philly. Garcia had a second straight season with an OPS under .700 in 2025, and he also hit fewer than 20 home runs for the first time since becoming an everyday player. Injuries are a concern and could have contributed to a drop in his batted-ball metrics and bat speed in 2025. At a slightly discounted price in fantasy drafts next spring, though, Garcia will be an attractive bounce-back candidate in his new digs.

Outfielder Adolis Garcia is being non-tendered by the Texas Rangers on Friday, sources told Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Garcia will now become a free agent this offseason after hitting .227 with 19 home runs and a .665 OPS for the Rangers in 2025. The 32-year-old has battled through injuries in recent seasons, but plenty of teams should be interested after he had a ridiculous 1.108 OPS in the 2023 postseason on his way to helping Texas win its first World Series championship that year. The Rangers didn't want to have to pay the right-handed slugger around $12 million in salary arbitration for next season. In addition to Garcia, the Rangers also non-tendered catcher Jonah Heim. In the last two years, Garcia's .675 OPS ranks 117th among 123 qualified hitters. In the 2023 postseason, he hit .323/.382/.726 in 15 games, including a walk-off homer in Game 1 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Texas Rangers "are trying to deal" catcher Jonah Heim and outfielder Adolis Garcia before this Friday's tender deadline. If they can't find any takers, both Heim and Garcia are non-tender candidates. Heim split playing time behind the dish in 2025 with Kyle Higashioka and hit .213/.271/.332 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI, and 38 runs scored in 124 games played. His 11 home runs were his fewest since 2021, when he played in only 82 games. Garcia, meanwhile, is entering the final year of his contract in 2026 and has had trouble staying healthy in recent seasons. The 32-year-old right-handed-hitting Cuban hit a career-best 39 long balls in 2023 but dropped down to 19 homers in 2025 while slashing a pedestrian .227/.271/.394 with a below-average .665 OPS, 75 RBI, 58 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 135 games played.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Garcia is in right field and batting cleanup after missing nearly two weeks of action due to a quad injury. It has been a down year for Garcia, but he remains a threat to go deep at any time. He has 18 home runs, 73 RBI, and 13 steals across 125 games this season. Fantasy managers who have Garcia rostered should get him activated on Sunday.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (quad) is set to face live pitching this weekend. If he can complete both sessions without a setback, then he will be a candidate to return to the Rangers' outfield on Monday, September 15, when Texas begins a series in Houston against the Astros. It's worth noting that this potential return date is positioned to be later than a previous report, which suggested that the 32-year-old could be activated over the weekend. While a return early next week isn't a major delay, it is later than the previous timeline. When he does return, he will look to finish the season off on a positive note, as he has struggled to find much consistency at the plate this year. In 2025 so far, he has a .235/.277/.408 slash line with 18 home runs and 13 steals.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (quad) is making significant progress and was able to take batting practice on the field on Tuesday. He landed on the injured list with a strained quad that has kept him out since September 1, but he may not need much more than the minimum time on the injured list. The Rangers are just 1.5 games behind the Mariners for the third AL Wild Card spot and just 2.5 games behind the Astros for the division lead. Getting Garcia back sooner than expected would be a huge boost for the Rangers' lineup, which is already seriously injury-depleted. Garcia was heating up, going 14-for-38 (.368) with two homers and three stolen bases in his nine games before landing on the injured list. He'll look to pick up where he left off, potentially against the Mets this weekend.

The Texas Rangers are placing outfielder Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right-quad strain and will recall outfielder Dustin Harris from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move, according to Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports. Manager Bruce Bochy said the team is optmistic that Garcia will be able to return after a minimal stay on the IL after missing the last three games. With Garcia sidelined, Ezequiel Duran is manning right field on Friday and will hit seventh against the visiting Houston Astros and left-hander Colton Gordon. Fantasy managers won't get much from the 32-year-old Garcia the rest of the way, but it's possible he will return for the final few weeks of the season for a final playoff push. The Cuban outfielder is two homers shy of the 20-homer mark with 73 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 125 total games for Texas.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday for the series finale against the hosting Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Rookie Alejandro Osuna will draw another start in right field for Texas and will hit seventh against Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. Garcia will miss a second straight game after suffering a Grade 2 strain to his right quadriceps muscle in Monday's series opener in the desert. It's a day-to-day situation for now, but fantasy managers should not be surprised if Garcia eventually lands on the 10-day injured list. The Rangers are optimistic for now that Garcia will avoid an IL stint, but his absence is likely to extend into this weekend. Osuna will be playing in just his 43rd big-leagu game on Wednesday and has gone 16-for-90 (.178) with just one home run, eight RBI and three steals to begin his MLB career in 2025.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) is not in the starting nine for Game 2 of the series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Chase Field in Phoenix. Rookie Alejandro Osuna is starting in right field and will hit seventh against Diamondbacks right-handed opener Nabil Crismatt. Garcia injured his quadriceps muscle in Monday's win over Arizona and will take Tuesday off. For now, fantasy managers should conider the 32-year-old to be day-to-day and check back to see if he's playing on Wednesday. The two-time All-Star had 30-plus homers in 2021 and 2023, but he hasn't been able to capture that magic since and entered Tuesday with just 18 long balls and a .235/.277/.408 slash line in 125 games in 2025. The Cuban slugger was much better in August, though, going 23-for-80 (.288) with three homers, eight doubles and 11 RBI in 19 games.
