Frisco RoughRiders News Release
FRISCO, Texas - Texas Rangers catcher Mitch Garver is expected to rehab with the Frisco RoughRiders beginning on Sunday when the RoughRiders take on the Midland RockHounds at 6:05 p.m.
Garver came over to the Rangers in a trade on March 12th, 2022 from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for a pair of former RoughRiders, INF Isiah Kiner-Falefa and RHP Ronny Henriquez.
The Albuquerque, New Mexico native was selected by the Twins out of the University of New Mexico in the ninth round of the 2013 Draft and played for parts of five seasons with Minnesota. The highlight of his career was taking home the Silver Slugger in 2019 for the catcher position, batting .273/.365/.630 with 31 home runs and 67 RBIs.
Garver was placed on the COVID-19 Injured List on June 10th and is hitting .206/.283/.397 over his 39 games this season.
This is Garver's second rehab appearance with the RoughRiders in 2022, going 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in his lone game on May 17th.
The six-game series concludes tomorrow at Riders Field at 6:05 p.m. as Frisco RHP Tim Brennan (1-1, 1.20 ERA) makes his second start of the week and since joining Frisco's staff. Midland lefty David Leal (0-2, 4.64 ERA) is scheduled to start his ninth game of the year Sunday.
The RoughRiders will take the field on Father's Day on Sunday, donning the name of the Dallas Black Giants to commemorate Juneteenth with the president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Bob Kendrick in attendance. Fans can arrive early on Sunday for a Dallas Black Giants hat giveaway!
