Texas Rangers slugger Adolis García and pitcher Max Scherzer could 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, manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday. Scherzer has a muscle spasm in the right side of his back.
"Right now he's on the table getting further evaluation," Bochy said of García about 2 1/2 hours before Game 4."We have to make a call here pretty soon. It's unfortunate, but we'll wait and see in the next hour or so. We still have a little bit of time to see where we're at with him and the possibility of him coming around. But we have to be honest, it's not great news.
García is hitting a team-high .323 in the postseason with eight homers and a major league-record 22 RBIs, one more than David Freese had for the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals. García is 3 for 10 in the World Series with two RBIs, including an 11th-inning home run off Miguel Castro that gave Texas a 6-5 win in Friday's opener.Scherzer left World Series Game 3 after three innings with a muscle spasm on the right side of his back.
"He was pretty locked up when he walked in today. He's on the table getting looked at, trying to get loose some. But he's not feeling well," Bochy said."So, again, we have to make a call on him whether we're going to wait a day or two or if we feel like we're a little short, need a pitcher. That will be decided within the next hour or so."
