Robert Garcia - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Undergoes MRI on shoulder Rangers manager Skip Schumaker confirmed Sunday that Garcia underwent an MRI on his sore left shoulder, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers are confident that the results of the testing will show no structural damage, but Garcia is likely to receive an anti-inflammatory injection Monday. The left-hander has not pitched last Thursday, when he was pulled after throwing a third of an inning. A best-case scenario is having Garcia available for Tuesday or Wednesday against the Pirates.

Used in eighth inning Garcia retired the side in order in order in the eighth inning and earned a hold in a 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Garcia, who is part of a committee of closers, entered the eighth inning with a string of lefties due up. The lefty worked a 1-2-3 inning to record his second hold of the season. Jakob Junis followed him in the ninth inning to record his first save. Garcia, who has not yet pitched in a save situation, has allowed one run on two hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings.

Unable to close door on Phillies Garcia surrendered two unearned runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.

Impact With the Rangers leading 3-0 going into the bottom of the ninth inning, manager Skip Schumaker called Garcia's number in Texas' first save situation of the season. Garcia struck out Kyle Schwarber and got Bryce Harper to ground out to begin the inning. Alec Bohm then singled ahead of a walk by Edmundo Sosa. Garcia was then pulled in favor of Chris Martin, but Martin was unable to close the door after a Jake Burger error opened the flood gates. Garcia and Martin are both expected to get save chances for Texas this season.

Will share closer job with Martin Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Monday that the team's closer job will "depend on the situation," but he's comfortable with Garcia and Chris Martin in the role, Shawn McFarland...

Impact Schumaker said something similar at the beginning of spring training and what occurred in Cactus League play doesn't appear to have changed his mind. Garcia tied for the team lead with nine saves last season and finished with a 2.95 ERA and 68:22 K:BB across 64 innings. Neither the left-handed Garcia nor the right-handed Martin have notable splits in their careers, so it could be a situation where Schumaker rides the hot hand.

Sharp in Cactus League return Garcia struck out two over one scoreless and hitless inning in Monday's spring game against the White Sox.

Impact Garcia pitched for the first time since returning from the World Baseball Classic. The left-hander made quick work of the White Sox in the sixth inning, retiring the side on 13 pitches (nine strikes). Garcia remains in the mix to close games for the Rangers along with Chris Martin.

Back in camp Garcia returned to the Rangers' training camp Friday after his run with Team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic ended earlier this week, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Garcia worked in a high-leverage role for Team Mexico as a setup reliever for Mariners' closer Andres Munoz. After serving as the Rangers' closer at times in 2025, Garcia is competing with Chris Martin for that job entering this season. The former was somewhat shaky in the role last season, when he converted just nine of 16 save opportunities.

In mix to close with Martin Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Wednesday that Garcia and Chris Martin are the favorites to see the bulk of the team's save chances this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com repo...

Impact Schumaker also noted that Alexis Diaz could work his way into the mix, but he wants to see how Diaz looks in spring training games first. Garcia finished in a three-way tie for the team lead with nine saves last season, and the two others (Shawn Armstrong and Luke Jackson) are no longer with the club. The left-hander collected a 2.95 ERA and 68:22 K:BB across 64 frames in 2025 in his first season with Texas.

Handed seventh loss Garcia (1-7) took the loss Wednesday, giving up one run on two hits in two-thirds of an innings. He struck out one.

Impact Making his first appearance since a bout of backs spams last weekend, Garcia was brought into a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning and served up what proved to be a game-winning solo shot by Paul Goldschmidt. Garcia has been taken deep in three straight games, and since the beginning of July he's stumbled to a 4.82 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB in 9.1 innings, ratios that would be even worse if it weren't for four unearned runs on his ledger. Phil Maton got the save for the Rangers on Tuesday, and Garcia's hold on the closer role could be hanging by a thread.

Expected to be available Monday Garcia (back) should be able to pitch Monday night against the Yankees, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Garcia suffered a mid-back spasm Saturday versus the Mariners, forcing the left-hander to exit his appearance early. The 29-year-old underwent an MRI thereafter, which showed no structural damage. The reliever appears to have avoided any significant injury as a result.
