Non-tendered by Padres Garcia was non-tendered by the Padres on Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Garcia saw inconsistent playing time for San Diego in 2020, and the Padres will part ways with him rather than going to arbitration. The 31-year-old hit .200/.279/.250 with 11 RBI last season and will likely have to settle for a depth role once again in 2021.

Giants lose to Padres, miss playoffs on season's final day
The San Francisco Giants had their postseason hopes dashed on the final day of the regular season, losing 5-4 to the playoff-bound San Diego PadresSEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • Associated Press
Seeing little playing time Garcia struck out in both of his at-bats in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Garcia batted ninth and served as the Padres' designated hitter in what was his third start of September. San Diego activated another potential DH option in Francisco Mejia (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and Tommy Pham (hand) could also rejoin the active roster within the next few days. As a result, Garcia's limited opportunities are only expected to become more scarce as the regular season winds down.

The specifics of the ailment remain unclear, so it's worth monitoring his status in case it continues to be an ongoing concern. Greg Garcia will enter the lineup at second base for the Friars, shifting Jake Cronenworth to first base.
