Yimi García - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Resumes playing catch Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Garcia (elbow/neck/biceps) has resumed playing catch, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Garcia has been on the shelf all season after requiring surgery last September to remove scar tissue around his right elbow, but biceps and neck nerve symptoms were cited as the reason behind the Blue Jays' decision to pull him off his rehab assignment last week. The right-hander appears to have responded well to several days of rest, prompting the Blue Jays to clear him to begin throwing again. Given that he's dealt with multiple setbacks this season -- Garcia was also pulled off a rehab assignment in May due to elbow soreness -- he could be built up slowly before the Blue Jays clear him to report back to a minor-league affiliate.

Remains in holding pattern Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Garcia (elbow) remains in a holding pattern due to neck and biceps nerve symptoms, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Garcia was initially sidelined following surgery last September to remove scar tissue from his elbow, but it seems his nerve issues are the bigger problem now. The 35-year-old reliever remains shut down for the time being and it's uncertain when he might be cleared to throw again.

Return delayed by soreness Garcia (elbow) experienced renewed elbow soreness following his most recent rehab appearance June 18 and hasn't pitched since, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Blue Jays had been anticipating having Garcia pitch Sunday for Triple-A Buffalo, but that didn't end up happening. Per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Garcia's fastball was sitting about 93 mph in his last rehab appearance, down from the 95-96 mph he typically sat before he underwent surgery in September to remove scar tissue from his elbow. The 35-year-old right-hander's return date will remain murky until he's able to get back on a mound and demonstrate he's ready to be activated from the 60-day IL.

Will pitch again Thursday Garcia (elbow) struck out the side on Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo and plans to pitch again Thursday, reports Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.

Impact After recording a 13-pitch inning for Buffalo on Tuesday, Toronto is looking to carry out their original plan of getting Garcia into more action before he makes his season debut for the big-league club. The 35-year-old was originally placed on the 15-day injured list on March 25 and then was transferred to the 60-day IL a month later on April 25. Garcia appeared in 22 games for Toronto in 2025, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB through 21 innings.

Recovery time still an issue Garcia (elbow) has yet to pitch on back-to-back days during his rehab assignment, or even twice in three days, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander did show improved velocity during his most recent appearance for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, but as yet he hasn't been able to bounce back quickly after an outing as he completes his recovery from surgery late last season to remove scar tissue from his elbow. That could delay Garcia's 2026 debut if the Blue Jays want to make sure he can handle a more regular usage pattern before adding him to an already overworked bullpen. Over his last four rehab appearances between Single-A Dunedin and Buffalo, Garcia has a 4.91 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 3.2 innings with a 4:3 K:BB.

Close to return Garcia (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday and is closing in on being reinstated from the 60-day injured list, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic...

Impact Garcia hasn't had the best stats across five minor-league rehab games, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three across four innings. However, the important thing for Garcia is that he hasn't hit any setbacks during his rehab assignment, and if that trend continues, then the right-hander could make his 2026 regular-season debut with the Blue Jays by the end of June. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a cleanup procedure that he underwent on his right elbow in September.
