Swipes first bag Garcia went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's victory over the Giants.
Impact Garcia struggled at the plate Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. He was able to pick up his first stolen base of the year after swiping four last season. It's been a sluggish start to the campaign for Garcia -- he's 6-for-40 with two extra-base hits and one RBI in his first 13 games.

Returns to lineup Tuesday Garcia (wrist) is back in the Marlins' lineup Tuesday against the Giants.
Impact Garcia will start in right field and bat seventh versus the Giants and left-hander Alex Wood after missing Monday's series opener because of a bruised right wrist. He's slashed just .162/.225/.270 through 41 plate appearances this year with Miami.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Available off bench Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Garcia (wrist) will be available off the bench for Monday's game against the Giants, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Impact Though he'll be out of the lineup for the series opener after hurting his right wrist when it was drilled by a pitch in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, Garcia looks like he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. Schumaker noted that Garcia was able to take batting practice in the cage Monday without issue, so the 31-year-old could be called upon to pinch hit, if necessary.

Out of Monday's lineup Garcia (wrist) is not in the Marlins' lineup for Monday's contest against the Giants.
Impact Garcia had to depart Sunday's game versus the Diamondbacks when he was hit on the right wrist after swinging at a pitch. X-rays came back clean and he's listed as day-to-day, but he's surely still sore. Jesus Sanchez will handle right field Monday.

X-rays negative on wrist Garcia had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a right wrist contusion after exiting Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald repor...
Impact Garcia swung at a pitch that hit him during the seventh inning and was unable to finish the plate appearance. The 31-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Giants.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
In starting lineup Friday Garcia (hamstring) is in the Marlins' starting lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks.
Impact Garcia will start in left field and bat fifth against the Diamondbacks and left-hander Madison Bumgarner after missing a few games due to a minor left hamstring injury. Bryan De La Cruz is in center and Jorge Soler is in right.
APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Held out again Wednesday Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the Marlins' lineup Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Impact It's the third straight contest on the bench for Garcia after he tweaked his left hamstring Sunday. The Marlins are off Thursday, so the hope is surely that Garcia is feeling well enough to play Friday. If he's not ready by then, a stint on the injured list might be needed. Jesus Sanchez is in right field Wednesday.
APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Remains sidelined Tuesday Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.
Impact Garcia tweaked his left hamstring Sunday and will now miss a second straight game. Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Jorge Soler are covering the outfield Tuesday for Miami. Garrett Cooper is at DH and Yuli Gurriel will handle first base.
APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sits with hamstring injury Garcia (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Impact The Marlins will give Garcia at least one day off to manage the left hamstring injury he picked up in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Mets. Manager Skip Schumaker will roll out an outfield of Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Jorge Soler from left to right while Garcia is on the bench.
APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves with hamstring soreness Garcia left Sunday's game against the Mets with left hamstring soreness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Garcia exited in the fourth inning and was replaced by Jesus Sanchez. The outfielder should be considered day-to-day, but will likely undergo further testing to determine his status going forward.

Swats first homer of year Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Twins.
Impact He turned on a Kenta Maeda (arm) offering with one out in the second inning and drove it over the left-field wall, and that was all the offense Sandy Alcantara would need on the night. Garcia struck out in his other two at-bats, however, and he's now 3-for-16 (.188) on the season with six K's, and just the one extra-base hit in Tuesday's long ball. After a down 2022, the 31-year-old will need to pick up the pace if he wants to keep a starting role in Miami.
APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out of lineup Garcia will sit Saturday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Heralde reports.
Impact Garcia went 0-for-6 in the first two games of the year following a spring in which he struck out 20 times while walking just once. If he continues to struggle and Bryan De La Cruz and Jesus Sanchez both hit well, he could be ask risk of losing playing time.
APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wraps up tough spring Garcia went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's split-squad game against the Nationals.
Impact The veteran outfielder is coming off a 2022 season in which he posted career worsts with a .583 OPS and 28.7 percent strikeout rate, and he hit only eight home runs in 98 games. Unfortunately, his performance this spring doesn't suggest a rebound is on the horizon. Garcia went 7-for-49 (.143) with two homers and two doubles during Grapefruit League play, but his 1:20 BB:K is especially troubling. If he has a slow start to his 2023, the 31-year-old could lose playing time quickly as the Marlins have plenty of options to handle the corner outfield spots, including Bryan De La Cruz, Jesus Sanchez and Jorge Soler.
MARCH 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Launches first spring homer Garcia went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
Impact The double came off Corey Kluber, while his first long ball of the spring came in the sixth inning off non-roster invitee Jake Faria. Garcia is coming off a brutal 2022 campaign after slugging a career-high 29 homers the year before as a Brewer, but the Marlins are hoping he can at least rebound to something closer to his .265/.319/.420 career slash line, and he remains set as the team's starting right fielder.

On bench for season finale Garcia isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.
Impact Garcia is getting a breather for Wednesday's season finale after he went 1-for-11 with a double, a run, two walks and five strikeouts over the last three games. Peyton Burdick will start in right field and bat eighth.
OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not in lineup Garcia will sit Saturday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The Brewers will go with eight righties against southpaw Aaron Ashby, but Garcia won't be one of them. His absence may be related to the fact that he only just returned from a hamstring injury Thursday, and the Marlins may not want him playing three games in a row right away. Brian Anderson will start in right field.

Smacks grand slam in return from IL Garcia went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Thursday's victory over the Brewers.
Impact With the Marlins down 2-0 in the eighth inning, Garcia crushed 1-2 fastball 411 feet to right center to put his team up 4-2 and make a major statement in his return from the injured list. The home run was Garcia's eighth on the season, and he is now slashing .230/.267/.324 through 363 plate appearances. The veteran should continue to see regular at-bats in right field to close the season.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Activated from injured list Garcia (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Garcia spent two and a half weeks on the injured list, but he recently completed a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville in which he went 2-for-7 with an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts. He should take over as Miami's primary right fielder over the final few games of the 2022 campaign.
