Garcia was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia is now off the 40-man roster but remains in the organization. The 25-year-old has made a full-time move to the bullpen and will pitch in that role for Toledo.

Garcia was optioned to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia hasn't been sharp this spring in yielding five runs and three homers over five innings. He's made a full-time move to relief and should be a factor with the big club in 2023.

Garcia is working as a reliever this spring, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers aren't ruling out a return to starting for Garcia at some point down the line, but the plan for now is for him to be used as a multi-inning reliever. "His best route to this team will be in that bridge role of being stretched out to two and three innings," manager A.J. Hinch said. Garcia held a 4.41 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 51 innings spread between eight starts and eight relief appearances for Detroit last season.

Garcia agreed to a one-year contract with the Tigers on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia appeared in 15 game (eight starts) last year and had a 4.41 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB across 51 innings. The 25-year-old seems likely to begin 2023 as a swingman for Detroit.

The Tigers announced Tuesday that Garcia (shoulder) is healthy and participating in his normal offseason program, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia landed on the injured list with shoulder soreness just after the All-Star break and missed the rest of the season. The 24-year-old worked as a swingman for Detroit with eight starts in 16 appearances, and he had a 4.41 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB across 51 innings.

The Tigers transferred Garcia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Since Garcia has already spent more than two months on the shelf, the transaction won't affect his recovery timeline, but the Tigers aren't counting on him returning in 2022 in any case. With Garcia moving to the 60-day IL, the Tigers were able to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Ryan Kreidler, who was summoned from Triple-A Toledo as one of Detroit's two September call-ups.

Garcia (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia has been out with shoulder soreness for nearly a month. He's yet to be moved to the 60-day injured list, but such a transaction could be imminent given that the Tigers aren't expecting him back this year.

Garcia was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder soreness Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia returned from the injured list to start Sunday's game against the Twins, but he was removed from the start due to what was initially considered tightness in his bicep. Although right shoulder soreness is the same diagnosis as the injury that forced him to miss the last three weeks, manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday that Garcia's current injury is unrelated to the previous issue. The right-hander will be shut down from throwing until the issue subsides, so it's possible that he requires more than the minimum of 15 days on the shelf.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday that Garcia is dealing with tightness in his bicep and will be shut down from throwing until the issue subsides, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia returned from the 15-day injured list Sunday after missing three weeks with shoulder soreness, but Hinch said that the right-hander's current injury is unrelated to his previous issue. Garcia will likely require a trip to the injured list, and a timetable for his return should come into focus once he's cleared to resume throwing.

Garcia was removed from Sunday's start against the Twins with right shoulder soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia missed the past three weeks with shoulder soreness before being activated to start Sunday, and he surrendered three runs across 2.2 innings before apparently aggravating the injury. It wouldn't be surprising if the 24-year-old requires a return trip to the injured list.
