PHOENIX — Texas Rangers slugger Adolis García and pitcher Max Scherzer will miss the rest of the World Series after getting hurt in Game 3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. García, the AL Championship Series MVP, has a moderate strain of his left oblique.
Texas Rangers’ Adolis Garcia grabs his left side after his swing during the eighth inning in Game 3 of the baseball World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday in Phoenix.
They were replaced on the active roster by infielder/outfielder Ezequiel Durán and left-hander Brock Burke before the Rangers won 11-7 on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 World Series lead. “Adolis did everything he could today,” Young said. ”He came in, was the first guy in today. He got as much treatment as possible. He went down to the cage and gave it a go, and it was very clear he was in pain. It’s not something that’s going to get any better over the next five to seven days. I think it would be a more significant timeline if this were the regular season. Made the decision pretty easy.
Travis Jankowski started in right field and was in the No. 9 slot in the batting order. He singled and scored in the second and hit a two-run double in the third in his first Series at-bats.“Travis has had a really nice year for us in his role,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “Got pressed into a starting role there for a while when we had our injuries and really picked us up when we needed it. Solid all around. Smart player. Good defender. Speed. He’s a guy that can handle the bat. He can bunt.
Scherzer left Game 3 after three innings. Asked after the game whether he was taking a muscle relaxant or something stronger, Scherzer responded: “All of the above.”
