LEADING OFF: Yankees arms dominate early, Scherzer nipped

Yankees pitching has been overwhelming early in games recently, and Jordan Montgomery will try to extend their dominance in an early tilt against the Tigers

JUNE 5, 2022 • Associated Press

Stumbles against Twins Garcia (0-1) took the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, surrendering six runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The whiffs salvaged a bit of fantasy value for the right-hander, but Garcia still turned in his worst performance of the season in his second start. His spot in Detroit's rotation is fairly secure given the team has six starters on the IL at the moment, but the 24-year-old should return to the bullpen once the likes of Eduardo Rodriguez (ribs) and Tyler Alexander (elbow) are ready to return. Garcia will carry a 4.70 ERA and 29:6 K:BB through 23 innings into his next outing.

Draws another start Garcia is scheduled to start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins in Detroit, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Detroit isn't expected to activate any of its six injured starting pitchers from the injured list during the upcoming week, so Garcia will be in store for at least one more turn through the rotation. After making his first eight appearances with the Tigers out of the bullpen this season, Garcia tossed four innings in his start May 25 in Minnesota. He gave up two runs on three hits and two walks and struck out five in the 78-pitch outing.

Allows two runs in start Garcia allowed two runs on three hits across four innings and did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over the Twins. He walked two and struck out five.

Impact Making his first start of the season, Garcia held his own while he was in there, and his team pulled away in the 10th inning for the 4-2 win. It was the righty's first start at the MLB level since 2020, when he made two starts for Detroit. Garcia has otherwise worked as a reliever the past three seasons, and he's had some success this year with a 3.00 ERA and 0.83 WHIP overall. With Eduardo Rodriguez (ribcage) recently hitting the injured list, Garcia may be able to stick in the rotation, especially with Matt Manning (shoulder), Casey Mize (elbow), Michael Pineda (finger) and Tyler Alexander (elbow) all also out. Garcia is currently slated to face the Twins again in his next projected start Monday.

Moving into rotation Garcia is scheduled to make his first start of the season in Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Last week, Eduardo Rodriguez (ribcage) became the sixth Tigers starting pitcher to go on the injured list, so Detroit will pluck Garcia from the bullpen to shore up a depleted rotation. The starting assignment comes after Garcia performed admirably in relief of the injured Rodriguez on May 18 in Tampa Bay, with the 24-year-old right-hander striking out six over 2.2 innings while giving up one earned run on a hit and a walk. Garcia's 54-pitch appearance against the Rays was his longest of the season, so he's unlikely to be entrusted to work deep into his start Wednesday.

MAY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out six Wednesday Garcia allowed one run on a hit and a walk across 2.2 innings of relief in Wednesday's loss to the Rays. He struck out six.

Impact Eduardo Rodriguez departed in the first inning with left side discomfort and will be headed to the injured list, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports, so Garcia was needed to soak up some innings as the first reliever into the game. The righty did well, with an Isaac Paredes solo home run his only blemish. The six strikeouts were also a season high for Garcia, who has a solid 2.57 ERA and 0.71 WHIP on the year.

Logs two scoreless innings Garcia tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Monday's loss to the Athletics. He didn't allow any hits or walks, and struck out one.

Impact Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Toledo before the game and he looked good in his first MLB action since April 24. The righty has a solid 2.16 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 8.1 innings for the Tigers this season, and while he's in a fairly low-leverage role at the moment, he could move up the bullpen pecking order if he keeps pitching well.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Tigers Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Garcia was sent to Toledo in late April, but he'll provide additional depth in the bullpen following two appearances in the minors. Over four major-league outings this year, he's posted a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 6.1 innings.

Optioned to Triple-A Garcia (fingernail) was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Impact Garcia sustained a cracked fingernail Tuesday, but he returned to action in Sunday's loss to the Rockies and allowed a run on two hits and no walks while striking out one in 2.1 innings. He has a 2.84 ERA in 6.1 major-league innings this year, but he'll now head to the minors.

Impact Garcia recorded a strikeout and walked a batter during the second inning, and he was then removed after spiking a pitch. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Bullpen chances improve Garcia looks more likely for the Opening Day roster with the Tigers sending down several other pitchers Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Bryan Garcia was optioned to Triple-A Toledo, while Jacob Barnes, Miguel Diaz and Wily Peralta were all optioned to minor-league camp Monday. This is good news for Garcia, who tossed just 3.2 innings for the Tigers last season before getting shut down with a left knee injury. The 24-year-old did log 21 innings in 2020 and could serve as a middle reliever for Detroit throughout 2022, assuming he stays healthy.

MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pushing for bullpen spot Garcia could earn an Opening Day bullpen spot with the Tigers, though he's also an option for the Triple-A Toledo rotation, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Garcia tossed just 3.2 innings across two games with the Tigers last season before getting shut down with a left knee injury. The 24-year-old did make three starts for Estrellas de Oriente in the Dominican Winter League earlier this offseason, firing 11 scoreless innings, so he seems to be healthy. Manager A.J. Hinch said he's "happy" with where Garcia is at, but it remains to be seen whether he'll factor into the Tigers' bullpen to begin the year. Garcia is off the fantasy radar for now, but the youngster could see his role grow if he pitches well this spring.

Impact Garcia made only two big-league appearances for the Tigers last season before being shut down in June after requiring surgery to address a left knee injury. The 2019 Rule 5 selection was able to make a full recovery from the knee procedure and gained clearance to make his Dominican Winter League debut late in the regular season before taking the mound for two more postseason starts. As Petzold notes, Garcia built up to 74 pitches in his final outing of the winter, so he shouldn't face any restrictions when the MLB lockout ends and players on the Tigers' 40-man roster are able to report to spring training. Garcia will likely be vying for a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen as a long-relief option.
