Garcia (oblique) will get at-bats on a back field Tuesday, and if all goes well, will serve as the designated hitter Thursday versus the Giants, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Garcia received good news on his injured left oblique last week, as an MRI revealed a strain mild enough that it fell shy of being deemed Grade 1. Setbacks with oblique issues are always possible, but assuming Garcia can avoid one, he is on track to be ready to go for Opening Day.
