Earns win Saturday Garcia (1-1) struck out one over a scoreless fifth inning to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.

Impact It's more accurate to state that Garcia "vultured" the win. After Texas scored six times in the top of the fifth to take a 6-1 lead, starter Kumar Rocker began the bottom of the frame with two consecutive walks and was replaced by Garcia. This was the reliever's third appearance since returning to the active roster last week. The left-hander has not allowed a hit, walk or run while striking out four over three innings.

Resumes throwing off mound Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Wednesday that Garcia (shoulder) threw two bullpen sessions last week at their facility in Arizona, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News report...

Impact Garcia has had a drawn-out recovery process from left rotator cuff inflammation, as the injury has kept him on the shelf since April 23. After months of little to no progress, Garcia finally seems to have turned a corner and could resume throwing live batting practice at some point this week. The Rangers remain hopeful that Garcia will be able to rejoin the big-league bullpen at some point in September.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing mound work The Rangers announced Aug. 12 that Garcia (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing off a mound soon, MLB.com reports.

Impact Nearly two weeks have passed since that update, but it's unclear whether Garcia has been able to take the next step in his throwing progression by getting back on a mound. Garcia has had an uncommonly slow recovery from an injury that the Rangers have labeled as left rotator cuff inflammation. He's been on the shelf since April 23 and has had to pause his throwing program on multiple occasions after experiencing continued discomfort while playing catch.
