Rest-of-Season Projections
Notches third save
Garcia struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Carlos Estevez had pitched both of the prior two days, giving up a run each time, so Angels manager Ron Washington turned to Garcia to wrap things up. The 37-year-old right-hander has never collected more than three saves in a season and his 5.06 ERA doesn't suggest he'll remain a reliable high-leverage option, but for now he seems to be the next man up when Estevez isn't available.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed to San Diego?
Garcia is in "serious talks" with the Padres, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Garcia had a strong season with the Cardinals in 2021, posting a 3.24 ERA with 34 strikeouts as compared to eight walks in 33.1 frames. While he was linked to the Padres on Tuesday, San Diego retained several of its own bullpen arms later that day. As a result, Garcia may have to look for an opportunity with another club, though he is almost certain to land a big-league contract at some point in the offseason.

2014
After playing for four different teams in his previous four seasons, Garcia signed a 2-year deal with San Diego and primarily served in a setup capacity. He was especially valuable in fantasy leagues that count holds, notching 20 (T-6th in the NL) during his age-35 season while also contributing four wins and three saves. The right-hander maintained above-average strikeout and walk rates while inducing plenty of ground balls with his 99 mph sinker. His slider (57% whiff rate) and spitter (40%) were fantastic put-away pitches and he slightly increased his usage of both. Garcia is likely third in San Diego's hierarchy for saves behind Josh Hader and Robert Suarez, but expect plenty of holds again in 2023 with the occasional save chance.
