Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia will be brought up from the minors for the second game of a doubleheader Friday, Aug. 9.

Fantasy Tip: Run to your waiver wire and snatch up Garcia if you play in an AL-only league. That is, if he isn't owned already. Garcia, with regular playing time now, could work his way into deep mixed league consideration before the end of the year, too.

Rangers | Alex Rios acquired

Fri, 09 Aug 2013 11:24:37 -0700

The Texas Rangers acquired OF Alex Rios from the Chicago White Sox Friday, Aug. 9. The White Sox will also send $1 million to the Rangers for Rios' salary. The White Sox will receive a player to be named or cash considerations. The Rangers are expected to send SS Leury Garcia to Chicago. With Rios gone, OF Avisail Garcia could come up and see playing time in the majors. Garcia had 10 hits in 24 at-bats (.417) with a home run and nine RBIs with Triple-A Charlotte.

Fantasy Tip: Texas was desperately seeking outfield help with Nelson Cruz suspended for the rest of the season. David Murphy and Craig Gentry are expected to platoon in left field from here on out.

Blake Tekotte was called up today, but if Garcia is brought up also, the latter should see most of the playing time for the rest of the year. Add Garcia immediately in AL-only leagues, for now.

The Chicago White Sox wanted SS Jurickson Profar from the Texas Rangers when the two teams discussed OF Alex Rios before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. The Rangers were unwilling to give Profar up. If Rios were traded now, OF Avisail Garcia would likely come up and play at the major league level.

Fantasy Tip: It's unlikely that the Rangers will land Rios, since they'll have to take on most of his remaining contract, even though Nelson Cruz is out for the year. If the trade goes down, Garcia should be owned in all AL-only leagues.

Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia, who was acquired from the Detroit Tigers in the three-team trade involving SP Jake Peavy, has been playing center field at Triple-A Toledo, and the White Sox want him to continue playing there at Triple-A Charlotte. General manager Rick Hahn is expecting Garcia to be called up later this year.

Fantasy Tip: Keep Garcia in mind in AL-only leagues if he was dumped earlier this season. He probably won't be worth adding in deep mixed leagues for the rest of the year, but he should be in the discussion for a roster spot out of spring training next year.
