The Nationals released Garcia from his minor-league contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia made 52 relief appearances in the majors across stints with the Phillies, Rays, Reds and Twins over the past three seasons, but he had pitched exclusively in the minors in 2022 after joining the Nationals on a minor-league deal in April. Over his 24 innings at Double-A Harrisburg this season, Garcia logged a 6.38 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.

Garcia was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday after clearing waivers, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

At some point after optioning Garcia to Triple-A over the weekend, the Twins removed him from the 40-man roster and exposed him to waivers, only for the 24-year-old right-hander to go unclaimed. Garcia has made 11 big-league appearances between St. Louis and Minnesota in 2021, giving up 20 earned runs on 19 hits and eight walks over 14.2 innings.

Garcia was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia spent a week on the big-league roster in his latest stint with the team, but things didn't go remotely well for him, as he allowed eight runs in 3.1 innings of work. He now owns a 12.27 ERA in 14.2 innings this season and a 7.74 mark in 57 innings for his career.

Garcia was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia was demoted to Triple-A on Thursday, but he never actually left the team with Miguel Sano heading to the paternity list. The right-hander has given up 12 runs across 11.1 major-league innings this season.

Garcia was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia made four relief appearances after he rejoined the Twins' bullpen last week, and he allowed four runs in seven innings. He'll head back to the minors after Andrew Albers and Kyle Barraclough were called up by Minnesota on Thursday.

Garcia was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia made four relief appearances at Triple-A St. Paul after he was claimed off waivers by the Twins on July 30, and he allowed two hits and a walk while striking out six in five scoreless innings. He'll provide an extra bullpen arm after Jorge Alcala (triceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Garcia was claimed off waivers by the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was designated for assignment by the Reds earlier in the week, and he'll make his way to a new organization. Garcia struggled during a brief stint in the majors for Cincinnati with eight runs allowed over 4.1 frames. He's fared better at Triple-A with a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 29:13 K:BB across 24 innings.

Garcia was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia had his contract selected by the Reds last week and surrendered eight runs in four innings across four appearances. The right-hander could head to Triple-A Louisville, where he's spent most of the season, if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Garcia's contract was selected by the Reds on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia was designated for assignment back on Opening Day but remained in the Reds' organization. He's pitched well in 24 innings for Triple-A Louisville, posting a 29.6 percent strikeout rate and a 3.38 ERA, though he'll likely be limited to low-leverage innings during his time with the team, as he owns a 6.17 career ERA in 42.1 innings at the highest level.

Garcia cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to the Reds' alternate training site.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia is still just 24 years old, but he's shown very little in his 42.1 big-league innings thus far, struggling to a 6.17 ERA while walking 16.0 percent of opposing batters. With that track record, it's no surprise he passed through waivers unclaimed.
