Garcia will rehab for the next eight weeks after being diagnosed with a sprained left patella tendon in his knee, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Garcia battled knee soreness during the final few weeks of the regular season. The good news is surgery has been deemed unnecessary, and the outfielder is expected to go through a normal offseason program after the eight weeks are up. Garcia slashed a disappointing .224/.284/.400 in 2024, although he did still hit 25 homers and steal 11 bases.
Rangers general manager Chris Young said Tuesday that Garcia will undergo an MRI on his injured left knee, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Young expressed hope that Garcia will be able to avoid surgery, but more clarity on the situation will be available after the exam results are in. Garcia injured the knee during the final weekend of the regular season while attempting to beat out an infield single.
