Astros put RHP Luis Garcia on 15-day IL, recall Nick Hernandez from Triple-A

The Houston Astros have placed Luis Garcia on the 15-day injured list a day after the right-hander exited a start at Toronto in the second inning because of a sore elbow
SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • Associated Press
Back on IL with elbow discomfort The Astros placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow discomfort.
Impact After missing more than two seasons of big-league action while recovering from Tommy John surgery and associated complications, Garcia was activated from the injured list Sept. 1 but made just two starts for Houston before experiencing more elbow trouble. The Astros don't yet have an updated diagnosis for Garcia after he exited midway through the second inning of his start in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Toronto, but more clarity on that front should arrive once the right-hander undergoes an MRI. Even if Garcia's upcoming tests reveal no long-term concern, his history of elbow problems suggests he's unlikely to make it back from the IL before the end of the regular season. AJ Blubaugh tossed 3.1 innings of long relief after Garcia exited Tuesday's contest, so Blubaugh could be the next man up to enter the rotation when Garcia's turn comes up again Sunday in Atlanta.

Astros RHP Luis Garcia exits start against Blue Jays in 2nd inning because of sore right elbow

Houston Astros right-hander Luis Garcia exited Tuesday’s game at Toronto in the second inning because of a sore right elbow
SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • Associated Press
Pulled early Tuesday Garcia was removed from his start Tuesday against the Blue Jays with an apparent injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Garcia made it through just 1.2 innings before calling for a trainer to come take a look at him, and he was removed after a very brief discussion with the Astros' staff. The specifics of his injury won't be known until the team takes a closer look at him, though it's worth noting that the right-hander's velocity was down for the duration of his start.

Back on schedule for Tuesday Garcia is slated to make his next start Tuesday versus the Blue Jays in Toronto.
Impact Garcia had been lined up to start this past Sunday's series finale versus the Rangers, but the Astros made a late change and instead had Framber Valdez take the hill on normal rest. Though Garcia wasn't dealing with any sort of injury, the Astros likely just wanted to build in more rest for the right-hander, who hadn't pitched in the majors since May 1, 2023 before he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week. After delivering a quality start and picking up a win over the Angels in his 2025 debut for the Astros last Monday, Garcia will draw a tougher test Tuesday in a road matchup with the Blue Jays, who sit atop the American League standings with an 82-61 record.

Astros' Framber Valdez focuses on keeping cool in 1st start since pitch that hit catcher

SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • Associated Press
No longer starting Sunday Garcia won't take his turn in the rotation Sunday against the Rangers, as Framber Valdez is slated to make the start instead, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact According to McTaggart , Garcia isn't dealing with an injury, but Houston wants Valdez to start the series finale instead. It's not clear if that means Garcia will pitch in Toronto on Tuesday for what had been expected to be Valdez's next turn on the mound.

Last Night in Baseball: Trevor Story Hit a Homer You Have to See to Understand
Victorious in return Garcia (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks over six innings with six strikeouts.
Impact The Houston right-hander looked sharp in his return from Tommy John surgery in May 2023, tossing 79 total pitches. Garcia averaged 91.4 mph on his fastball, down 1.3 mph from his mark in 2023, but that is to be expected as the 28-year-old works his way back into game action. All three runs Garcia conceded scored on long balls in the fourth, with Zach Neto hitting a solo shot and Jo Adell cracking a two-run homer. Garcia currently lines up to make his next start at Texas this weekend.
