Luis García exited Houston's 4-3 loss to Toronto with elbow soreness in the second inning, abruptly ending his return from Tommy John rehab. He threw 27 pitches (88-91 mph), signaling to the dugout and handing the ball to AJ Blubaugh. The Astros face rotation uncertainty as they navigate an injury-shortened start and bullpen usage, while Toronto leaned on timely contact from a patient lineup.

Fantasy takeaways center on Houston’s immediate bullpen shuffle and the potential for depth arms to surge into spot starts if García’s elbow limits him longer-term. Toronto’s offense remains a structured threat when García isn’t on, keeping feasible streaming options in play for daily leagues.
