Garcia was traded from the Red Sox to the Pirates on Thursday in exchange for Johan Oviedo, Tyler Samaniego and Adonys Guzman, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates are reportedly more willing to be aggressive to upgrade their roster this offseason, and Garcia will add some much-needed potential power to their lineup. He made a very brief appearance in the majors with the Red Sox in late August but tallied only nine plate appearances. Garca otherwise had a solid campaign in the upper levels of the minors in 2025, consistently hitting about 15 percent above league average at 22 years old, and he should immediately have the chance to win the starting left field job for the Pirates this spring.

The Red Sox optioned Garcia to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia struggled in his first taste of MLB action, going 1-for-7 with a double, two walks and five strikeouts after being called up Aug. 22. The 22-year-old made two starts, both in right field, during the big-league stint. Nick Sogard was recalled from Worcester in a corresponding move.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in Friday's 1-0 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia made his MLB debut and started in right field at Yankee Stadium, becoming the first Red Sox prospect to make his major-league debut there since Mookie Betts in 2014. Garcia was originally listed in center field, but manager Alex Cora changed the lineup prior to the game. It's unclear if Cora plans to use the righty hitter solely against lefties. Friday's debut was against New York lefty Max Fried.

The Red Sox will recall Garcia from Triple-A Worcester prior to Thursday's game versus the Yankees, Katie Morrison-O'Day of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilyer Abreu (calf) is heading to the 10-day injured list, and his roster spot will be absorbed by Garcia. The 22-year-old Garcia has slashed .289/.363/.512 with 20 home runs and six stolen bases between Double-A Portland and Worcester this season. Boston's outfield is pretty full already even with Abreu out, but the right-handed-hitting Garcia should at least get his fair share of opportunities against left-handed pitching.

Garcia started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and run scored for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia was introduced to first base during pre-game work the last two weeks, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, and Sunday was his debut at the position. There were no fielding issues, and he made a nice pick on a double play. Garcia is hitting at the Triple-A level, sporting a .308 average with a .945 OPS, but there's currently no room for him in Boston's outfield. Expanding his defensive versatility introduces another path to the majors, particularly at first base where the Red Sox are getting by with Abraham Toro and Romy Gonzalez. Of course, the pending signing of Nathaniel Lowe, who was designated for assignment by the Nationals over the weekend, could scuttle the notion of promoting Garcia to the majors and helping out at first base.

Garcia slugged his 19th home run of the season for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia, who's belted 16 of his 19 homers at Triple-A, has handled the transition to the highest minor-league level without issue. He compiled a .748 OPS at Double-A Portland before his promotion, but he has a .951 OPS at Worcester. Garcia originally gained notoriety for his nickname "The Password", but he's emerged as a legitimate power prospect. He's hit seven home runs and drove in 23 runs with a 1.167 OPS over the last 15 games for the WooSox. Garcia leads the organization's affiliates in homers (19), RBI (66) and wRC+ (136).

Garcia was promoted to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia will make the jump to Triple-A after batting .256 with three home runs, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and four stolen bases over 117 at-bats in 33 games with Double-A Portland this season. The 22-year-old will look to impress with Worcester in an attempt to get a shot with the Red Sox later this season.

The Red Sox optioned Garcia to minor-league camp Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia struggled this spring, going 1-for-21 with a 10:0 K:BB. The 22-year-old finished the 2024 campaign at Double-A Portland and is likely headed back there to begin this season.
