Impact Garza spent all of last season in Triple-A Columbus, posting a 4.64 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 42.2 frames.

Fellow pitcher Kenny Rosenberg was designated for assignment Monday in a corresponding move.

Goes unclaimed off waivers The Guardians outrighted Garza to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.
Impact Garza was one of three Guardians players who cleared waivers Wednesday after recently being removed from the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old right-hander should still be in line for an invitation to big-league spring training, but his lack of a 40-man spot will make it tough for him to secure a spot in Cleveland's Opening Day bullpen. He made 21 relief appearances for Cleveland in 2021, submitting a 4.71 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 28.2 innings.
NOVEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
DFA'd by Guardians Garza was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Friday.

Works two innings Sunday Garza allowed one run on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts in two innings during Sunday's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

Garza has logged a 4.23 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 28:17 K:BB across 27.2 innings to begin his big-league career. The 27-year-old will likely remain in a low-leverage role to finish the season, although he's made noticeable improvements after a few rough patches in July and August.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Becoming more consistent Garza allowed three hits and struck out two in 1.2 innings in Monday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota.
Impact In four of his last five appearances, Garza has managed to keep runs off the board despite allowing six hits and four walks in that span covering 5.2 innings. The right-hander has trimmed his ERA down to 3.97, but a 1.41 WHIP and 22:13 K:BB are hardly encouraging signs, albeit in a small 22.2-inning sample. The 27-year-old will likely continue to fill a low-leverage role for the final month of the season.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Takes loss versus Minnesota Garza (2-1) allowed an unearned run on one hit and a walk in one-third of an inning, taking the loss versus Minnesota on Wednesday.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Awarded win Monday Garza (2-0) earned the win Monday versus Cincinnati. He allowed one run on a hit and two walks with three strikeouts over two innings.
Impact Garza was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on July 31, and he made his third appearance in his second stint on the big-league roster this season. The right-hander was awarded the win Monday after Sam Hentges covered only two innings as the starter. Garza has a solid 2.35 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 15.1 innings. He's been lucky to limit opposing batters to a .184 BABIP in the small sample, but he should be able to provide length out of the bullpen.

Solid in bulk relief role Garza allowed a run on four hits and struck out one in 3.1 innings during Tuesday's 9-3 loss to Houston.
Impact Making his first appearance since July 5, Garza was able to limit the damage to a sixth-inning RBI single by Kyle Tucker. The 27-year-old right-hander has logged 9.2 innings across four appearances, posting a 2.79 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB in this season. A 5.13 FIP indicates he's gotten lucky so far, but Cleveland will likely continue to deploy him in multi-inning assignments.
JULY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Works in long relief Garza allowed a run on one hit and struck out three over 2.2 innings in Sunday's 8-2 loss to Minnesota.
Impact The 27-year-old was solid in his major-league debut. Garza has been excellent with a 0.44 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 20.1 innings for Triple-A Columbus. Based on his usage Sunday, the right-hander will likely see a bulk relief role initially. He could see a more versatile role if he continues to log good outings.
JUNE 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Earns first call-up Cleveland selected Garza's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Impact The 27-year-old right-hander gets his first big-league call-up after he dominated over his 13 outings at Triple-A, posting a 0.42 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB in 21.1 innings while holding opposing hitters to a .088 average. Cleveland will likely start Garza out in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen initially, but if he shows he can carry over his success in the minors to the big leagues, he could quickly climb the depth chart.
