The Texas Rangers will head into Game 4 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks without their Game 1 hero, Adolis García, on Tuesday night.

Garcia is dealing with a "moderate oblique strain," according to manager Bruce Bochy, which Garcia tweaked in the Rangers' Game 3 victory on Monday night. Because of that, García wasn’t in the starting lineup for the Rangers.

"It’s not great news," Bochy said.

Travis Jankowski replaced García in the lineup, as he will play in right field. Mitch Garver also moved up the lineup to the No. 3 spot where García has exclusively been. Evan Carter will hit fourth and Josh Jung will hit fifth.

García has had a historic run in October, hitting .323/.382/.726 with eight home runs in 15 games for Texas.
