2024 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia's 2023 season was almost as quickly over as it began. The righty got off to a decent start with 31 strikeouts in 27 innings winning 2 of his first 6 decisions before he joined the long and distinguished list of elbow injuries last season. Garcia had his TJ surgery on May 19th which means we likely will not see him until the late stages of 2024, It is unfortunate as Garcia is a rather fascinating pitcher given his cutter is one of the toughest pitches in baseball on opposing hitters and hit has generated swings and misses over 40% of the time since he ramped up his usage of the pitch in 2021. Like most pitchers in this state, Garcia is an interesting end-game selection in keeper leagues for managers looking to play the fantasy long game, but should otherwise be an afterthought for reset leagues this season.
