The Rangers have removed both outfielder Adolis García and starting pitcher Max Scherzer from their World Series roster. The two have been replaced by utilityman Ezequiel Durán and reliever Brock Burke.
Both players were injured in the Rangers’ Game 3 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday. Scherzer departed before the fourth inning with back spasms; García left in the eighth with left side tightness. Texas entered Tuesday up two games to one over Arizona. But losing García and Scherzer represents a massive blow to the path ahead.
“I hurt for those guys personally because I know how much they mean to our club, how hard they've worked to be in this situation,” said Rangers general manager Chris Young. “And then now it's gone for them.”
