Scores three times in win Garcia went 3-for-4 with three runs in Sunday's win against the Marlins.

Impact Garcia has seen relatively consistent playing time since being added to the major-league roster, and he's been effective with his opportunities. He didn't demonstrate much power with three singles Sunday, but he crossed the plate three times as the Nationals put up nine runs in the win. Garcia is now hitting .357 with six runs and four RBI over eight games this year.

Not starting Game 1 Garcia isn't starting Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Impact Garcia has been effective in his first taste of major-league action, but he'll take a seat for the first game of Saturday's twin bill. Josh Harrison will start at second base in his absence.

On base four times in win Garcia went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

Impact The rookie paced a 17-hit barrage by the Nats, and drew his first big-league walk for good measure. Garcia is off to a flying start to his career, going 6-for-17 through four games since being added to the roster, and the 20-year-old has a chance to lock down the starting spot at second base with Starlin Castro (wrist) likely out for the rest of the regular season.

Makes history with first homer Garcia went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact When he took Touki Toussaint deep in the second inning, Garcia became the first player born in the 2000s to homer in a big-league game. He's now 3-for-13 to begin his MLB career with four RBI and four strikeouts, and Garcia will likely continue to see the bulk of the action at second base until Starlin Castro -- who, coincidentally, was the first player born in the 1990s to homer in the majors -- recovers from his wrist fracture.

Two hits in big-league debut Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Friday's 15-3 rout of the Orioles.

Impact Called up for his big-league debut after Starlin Castro (wrist) landed on the injured list, Garcia showed off his plus hit tool right out of the gate, looping a single into left field in the third inning for his first MLB knock and then ripping a double to the wall in the right-field corner in the eighth for his first RBI. The Nats have veteran options like Asdrubal Cabrera or Josh Harrison available to fill in at second base if they choose, but the 20-year-old Garcia may get a long look at the keystone first.
