Yimi Garcia To Start Rehab Assignment On Saturday
4 months agoToronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia (elbow) said his side session went well on Wednesday and he felt good on Thursday morning. Garcia is joining Triple-A Buffalo on Friday and will pitch for the Bisons in his first minor-league rehab appearance on Saturday. He's thinking he'll need at least a couple of rehab outings before the team considers reinstating him from the injured list. The 33-year-old should be able to rejoin the back end of Toronto's bullpen before the All-Star break. And with Jordan Romano (elbow) potentially missing the rest of the season now after having elbow surgery, Garcia becomes even more attractive in fantasy leagues as the Blue Jays' potential primary closing option when he's healthy. Right now, veteran Chad Green has locked down closing duties in Toronto with both Romano and Garcia on the shelf.
