Hits first spring homer
Garcia started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's spring game against the Giants.
Analysis
Garcia returned from a mild oblique strain after an eight-day absence Wednesday as the DH, but the pause in his spring doesn't seem to be an issue. "His timing has been right on," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. "He hit three balls hard yesterday, hit another one for the homer today. You see a difference." The downtime may even have been beneficial for Garcia, whose exit velocity was below normal during the first weeks of spring training.

Returns with boom
Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Reds.
Analysis
Garcia was making his return after an eight-day absence due to a left oblique strain. The 32-year-old slugger brought his boom stick with him, recording three batted balls in play that were classified as hard hit: a 96.6 mph double, a 105.9 mph lineout and a 110.0 mph flyout. According to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News, Garcia's average exit velocity over his first eight spring contests was 86.7 mph, a drop from his career average of 91.5 mph. He served as the designated hitter Wednesday and is expected to play right field Thursday.

Back in action at DH on Wednesday
Garcia (oblique) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Reds.
Analysis
Garcia had been slated to return to action Thursday, but evidently he talked his way into the lineup a day earlier. The 32-year-old will play for the first time since March 3, as he's been battling a mild left oblique injury.

In line to DH Thursday
Garcia (oblique) will get at-bats on a back field Tuesday, and if all goes well, will serve as the designated hitter Thursday versus the Giants, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis
Garcia received good news on his injured left oblique last week, as an MRI revealed a strain mild enough that it fell shy of being deemed Grade 1. Setbacks with oblique issues are always possible, but assuming Garcia can avoid one, he is on track to be ready to go for Opening Day.
