The Texas Rangers may be off for the All-Star break, but not all players get time off. Monday night, Rangers slugger Adolis Garcia will participate in the home run derby featuring eight of the best home run hitters in the MLB.
Garcia, also known as "El Bombi," has 23 home runs, including two in his last four games. That's good for sixth most in the MLB.
He was the final slugger named to the star-studded eight-player field for the 2023 Home Run Derby.
