Rangers RF Garcia exits after pitch hits hand

ARLINGTON, Texas —

After initially staying in the game and playing defense in the top of the fifth, Garcia was removed for a pinch-hitter in the bottom half with the Rangers trailing 10-3.

The team said X-rays on his hand were negative but he was still being evaluated.

Garcia is hitting .260 with a team-high 24 homers. His 80 RBIs matched Atlanta’s Matt Olson for the major league lead.
