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

Diagnosis changed to back injury
Garcia's exit from Saturday's game against the Mariners was due to a mid-back spasm, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis
After Garcia was pulled in the 10th inning in the middle of a Eugenio Suarez at-bat, the initial word was that he was dealing with a left scapula spasm. However, further assessment determined that Garcia is instead managing a spasm in his mid-back. That appears to be good news, as manager Bruce Bochy said after the win that the team expects Garcia to be fine. Nonetheless, the closer may be due for a day off after pitching three times in the past four days.

Exits with shoulder issue Saturday
Garcia was pulled from Saturday's contest against Seattle due to left scapula spasms, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Garcia entered in the 10th inning with a chance for a save, as Texas led 4-2. He quickly blew the opportunity, serving up a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena on his third pitch. Garcia then retired the next two batters before allowing a Josh Naylor single. He began the next at-bat with two straight balls to Eugenio Suarez and was subsequently visited by a trainer, which led to Garcia's exit from the game after 17 total pitches (only eight of which were strikes). Garcia's initial diagnosis doesn't sound grave, but it wouldn't be surprising if he were to be held out of action for at least a short period, especially since he was pitching Saturday for the third time in four days. Should Garcia need to sit out, Shawn Armstrong or the just-acquired Phil Maton could be the lead candidates for save chances.

Takes fourth blown save
Garcia (1-6) allowed two runs on two hits while failing to record an out, taking the loss and a blown save versus the Mariners on Friday.
Analysis
Garcia gave up a walk-off two-run home run to J.P. Crawford. This was Garcia's first blown save since June 14 versus the White Sox, though he also took a pair of losses while pitching to a 1.13 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over eight innings in July. The Rangers added Phil Maton from the Cardinals and Danny Coulombe from the Twins at the trade deadline, both of whom earned holds prior to Garcia's blown save. That suggests Garcia will maintain closing duties for now, though any extended struggles will likely cost him the role. He's managed a 3.05 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46:16 K:BB with nine saves, 11 holds and four blown saves over 41.1 innings this season.

Fans two in save
Garcia earned a save against the Angels on Wednesday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.
Analysis
It was a relatively stress-free save opportunity for Garcia, who entered for the ninth with the Rangers up by three runs. He needed just 10 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side in order, beginning and ending his outing with punchouts. Garcia has strengthened his hold on Texas' closer role since the All-Star break, recording all three of the team's saves in the second half. He's not the flashiest closer in the game, but he's largely gotten the job done this season, registering nine saves in 12 chances with 11 holds, a 2.61 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 46:16 K:BB over 41.1 innings.
