8 months agoThe Boston Red Sox acquired right-handed reliever Luis Garcia from the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. It's unknown what the Red Sox sent to the Angels in return. Now that the Angels have traded both Carlos Estevez and Garcia, they're likely to use some combination of Ben Joyce and/or Jose Quijada to close out games the rest of the season. Garcia, 37, comes to Boston after going 5-1 with a 3.71 ERA (3.68 FIP), a 1.17 WHIP, a career-high four saves and a 40:14 K:BB in 43 2/3 innings out of the bullpen in Anaheim. With the move to Beantown, Garcia will go back to being only mildly attractive in deep holds leagues, as he's set to be a late-inning setup man in front of Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen. For a high-leverage reliever, Garcia's 22% strikeout rate this year leaves a lot to be desired.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoBoston Red Sox right-handed reliever Luis Garcia (shoulder), who has a 10.32 ERA in 11 appearances since joining the Red Sox, was placed on the 15-day injured list before the team's game on Tuesday with right-shoulder inflammation. Manager Alex Cora said the injury isn't season-ending, though, but there was no immediate word on the severity of the injury. "Just get treatment and see where we're at in the upcoming days and just go from there," Cora said. The 37-year-old veteran could probably use the time off after joining Boston in a trade from the Los Angeles Angels at the end of July. The Dominican hurler has gone 5-1 overall this year with a 5.07 ERA (4.19 FIP), a 1.33 WHIP, a career-high four saves, 51 strikeouts and 15 walks in 55 innings. Garcia had more fantasy intrigue in deeper leagues when he was in Anaheim.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

10 months agoLos Angeles Angels relief pitcher Luis Garcia was tasked with holding a one-run lead in the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. The right-hander blew the lead during the seventh inning of Tuesday's game. Despite that, Garcia was given another chance and worked a perfect ninth inning to earn his third save of the season. Garcia has been busy pitching in four of the last five games. The Angels bullpen situation is a little messy with Carlos Estevez as the primary closer, but Adam Cimber and Garcia are in the mix as well.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

1 year agoThe Los Angeles Angels signed free-agent reliever Luis Garcia to a one-year, $4.25 million deal to help bolster their bullpen on Tuesday. Garcia spent the last two years pitching for the San Diego Padres. The 36-year-old veteran right-hander wasn't all that great in 2023 for the Friars, but he's an upgrade over what the Halos were working with last year. In his two seasons in San Diego, Garcia went 6-9 with a 3.73 ERA (3.44 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP with three saves, 41 walks and 121 strikeouts in 120 2/3 relief innings. Garcia was hurt by walks and poor control more than anything, and his strikeout rate also dropped from a career-high 26.3% in 2022 to 19.9% in 2023. He could be of some use in deep holds leagues as a setup man in Anaheim, but not much else.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

3 years agoSan Diego Padres reliever Luis Garcia recorded his third save of the season on Saturday, closing out his team's 2-1 win over the Nationals. With Josh Hader struggling in the closing role as of late, manager Bob Melvin stated the team would go with a committee approach moving forward, and Garcia was the arm summoned for tonight's opportunity. He retired the first man he faced, but went on to allow a single and a hit batsmen before getting an inning-ending double play to seal the win. Garcia has posted a serviceable 3.40 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 48 K through 45 IP, and would only serve as a fantasy option for managers who are desperate for saves down the stretch run.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
