The World Series journey of the Texas Rangers has been through a roller coaster. After the team went through a massive hit in Game 2, they returned stronger. However, now, they have received another blow. The star player of the team, Adolis Garcia, had to exit early due to an injury. While he didn?t appear for Game 4, will he be able to play the next three games of the series?

The Rangers are only one game away from their first Commissioner’s trophy. With the last two wins, the team is now leading the series 3-1. But the current roster and Garcia?s injury are making fans anxious about the remaining days.

The months-long baseball fight has almost come to an end. Unfortunately, the star outfielder of the Texas Rangers won?t accompany the team on the field anymore. During Game 3, a moderate left oblique strain left Garcia in pain. He received treatment immediately and hoped to return, but that didn?t work. So, he left the field.

Later, an unfortunate update said that the outfielder could not swing properly. So, he was not only out of the Game 4 but also replaced in the roster as well. In his place, the team has included the 24-year-old Dominican player Ezequiel Duran. So, it finally assures that Garcia won?t be playing in the further games of this season. Though he made extraordinary contributions to his team during the postseason to become the ALCS MVP, he can?t show his talent in the upcoming World Series games.

The team seems not to be anxious about that issue. Talking about it, team manager Bruce Bochy expressed, ?You can?t do anything about it. You know they?re going to happen occasionally. What?s important is how you handle it. And they just have handled it all so well the whole year. So I wasn?t worried about how they would handle this.?

Even the GM of the team praised the player and said, ?Adolis did everything he could today. He came in, was the first guy in today.? However, Garcia is not the only guy who?s out of the Fall Classic. There?s another important player.
