Robert Garcia Shipped To Texas
12 mins agoAccording to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Texas Rangers have acquired left-handed relief pitcher Robert Garcia from the Washington Nationals in exchange for first baseman Nathaniel Lowe. Garcia made his major league debut with the Miami Marlins in 2023 but was eventually shipped to Washington later that summer. In 32 innings in 2023, the southpaw posted a 3.66 ERA and a 1.19. In 2024, Garcia posted a 4.22 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP across a 59 2/3 inning sample size. However, the 28-year-old generated an impressive 2.53 xERA which suggests he should be due for some significant positive regression with his new ball club. Garcia also generated a stellar 3.1% barrel rate and 30.2% hard-hit rate which placed him in the 98th percentile in both statistics. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Garcia's usage during Spring Training as he may be in the mix for save opportunities.
