Resting for day game Garver is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact After starting in each of the Rangers' first four games of May while going 5-for-16 with a home run, two doubles and a walk, Garver will end up sitting for the second contest in a row. He was on the bench for the second half of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees, and with the Rangers facing a quick turnaround for Monday's series finale -- which starts at 1:05 p.m. ET -- Garver will be extended another breather. Jonah Heim will be behind the dish and serve as the Rangers' cleanup hitter Monday.
