2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia made the Nationals' 2024 Opening Day roster as the only left-hander out of their bullpen. The 28-year-old was one of Washington's most dependable relievers, which afforded him more high-leverage opportunities than he has previously received in his young career. Garcia racked up 13 holds while recording career-highs in games played (72) and innings pitched (59.2). His 23.5 K-BB percentage ranked 18th among qualified relievers thanks to strikeout and walk rates that were both well above-average. Garcia's 4.22 ERA is a glaring blemish, but a 2.38 FIP, 2.71 SIERA and 2.53 xERA (97th percentile) all suggest he was unlucky in that department. He also posted 98th percentile metrics in hard-hit percentage allowed (30.2 percent) and barrel percentage allowed (3.1 percent). Garcia was a top internal candidate to replace Kyle Finnegan as Washington's closer in 2025, but he was instead traded to Texas. The Rangers don't have a clear solution to the ninth inning either, so Garcia could be in the mix to close along with veteran Chris Martin, who has traditionally served as a setup man.

Signed a one-year, $772,500 contract with the Rangers in March of 2025.
Diagnosis changed to back injury
Garcia's exit from Saturday's game against the Mariners was due to a mid-back spasm, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis
After Garcia was pulled in the 10th inning in the middle of a Eugenio Suarez at-bat, the initial word was that he was dealing with a left scapula spasm. However, further assessment determined that Garcia is instead managing a spasm in his mid-back. That appears to be good news, as manager Bruce Bochy said after the win that the team expects Garcia to be fine. Nonetheless, the closer may be due for a day off after pitching three times in the past four days.
