Garcia is a pre-arbitration pitcher/development prospect; his trajectory informs the Rangers’ long-term pitching depth and potential impact on the rotation.

Garcia was the reliever who loaded the bases for Kayfus’ decisive moment, illustrating the high-leverage environment of the game’s final at-bat.

Garcia pitched in relief late in the game, offering a glimpse at the Rangers’ bullpen depth behind deGrom and the other starters, with potential fantasy relevance if he secures a larger late-inning role.

Garcia, acquired from Washington for Lowe, has been moved from closer duties and has endured a rough five-game stretch with four earned runs allowed across five innings and three homers. His springy role in high-leverage spots is under review as Bochy seeks a softer entry point and more reliable performance from the bullpen.

Garcia’s elevated closer role earlier this season and demotion amid high-leverage misfires frames him as a high-upside bullpen asset whose trade value rested on elite stuff and team control. His ERA in 53 appearances sits around 3.33, worth 0.4 WAR, making him a speculative add for deeper formats if he regains late-inning trust.
