Robel García - Sent to Triple-AGarcia was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactGarcia was no longer needed as a utility man with Aledmys Diaz (hand) returning from the injured list in a corresponding move. Garcia hasn't done much in his 104 major-league plate appearances this season to suggest that he deserves more opportunities, as he's hitting just .170/.233/.234.

Aledmys Díaz - Officially activated MondayDiaz (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

ImpactThe veteran infielder has been sidelined since early June with a fractured left hand, but he'll rejoin the active roster Monday after a six-game rehab stint. Diaz should fill a utility role now that he's healthy and could split time at third base with Abraham Toro until Alex Bregman (quadriceps), who begins a rehab assignment Monday, is activated from the injured list.

Josh Jung - Mashing in Double-AJung has a five-game hit and RBI streak going at Double-A Frisco, a span in which he's gone 9-for-20 (.450) with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and a 2:2 BB:K.

ImpactThis hot stretch has lifted his season OPS back over the .900 mark to .906. A foot injury caused Jung to miss the beginning of the minor-league season, but he's pushed past that setback in impressive fashion. His power output looks great, his strikeout rate is trim, and he generally looks ready to move on up in the organization. Look for the Rangers to give him some exposure to Triple-A next month ahead of a probable September call-up. It's about time for fantasy managers to make sure they know that Jung is pronounced like "Young."

Cristian Javier - Strands inherited runnersJavier struck out two over two scoreless innings and picked up a hold in Sunday's 3-1 win over Texas.

ImpactRelievers don't face more stressful situations than Javier did Sunday, entering with none out and the bases loaded in the seventh inning. He then fanned Eli White and induced an inning-ending double-play grounder by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Javier worked an uneventful eighth inning to earn his fifth hold. The 24-year-old right-hander, who began the season in the rotation, is setting into a multi-inning bullpen role. Over 13 relief outings, he's posted a 2.25 ERA with 37 strikeouts and 15 walks in 28 innings.
