All-Star slugger Adolis García, the American League leader with 100 RBIs, will be placed on the 10-day injured list by the playoff-contending and slumping Texas Rangers after an MRI on Thursday revealed a patellar tendon strain in his right knee.
General manager Chris Young said García won't need surgery and that the team is"cautiously optimistic" he might be able to return this season for the Rangers, who have 23 regular-season games left. The GM didn't provide a definite timetable.
Texas is going to call up top prospect outfielder Evan Carter, and he will join the team for the opener of a weekend series at home against Oakland on Friday night. Young said the team wasn't ready to announce the move needed to add him to the 40-man roster.
