The Rangers did not provide an official update on his injury. Garcia has been a postseason hero in 2023, winning ALCS MVP after Texas defeated the Houston Astros in seven games.

The 30-year-old continued his strong play in the Fall Classic, throwing out Christian Walker at home earlier in the night.

Garcia has hit .323 with eight home runs this postseason, knocking in 22 RBIs while recording an exceptional 1.108 OPS. He's produced countless iconic moments over the past month, culminating in a walk-off home run to swing Game 1 in Texas' favor.

Following the game, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy explained how Garcia helps galvanize the rest of the roster.

"He might have turned it up a notch, to be honest. He saved us there," Bochy said, via AP News. "You can see it in him. He gets everybody fired up."

It would be a huge blow to the Rangers' offense if he's is forced to miss an extended period of time. In that scenario, Texas would rely on Corey Seager to elevate his game even further to replace Garcia's production.

Seager has been excellent in the postseason as well, hitting .298 while crushing five homers and knocking in 10 RBIs.

The Rangers will hope that Garcia's injury isn't severe, as the series continues quickly. Game 4 is on Tuesday night at 8:03 p.m. ET.
