Yimi Garcia To Throw Off A Mound Again Wednesday
5 months agoToronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Yimi Garcia (elbow) threw off a mound without issue on Sunday, according to manager John Schneider. Garcia will throw off a mound again on Wednesday before the team decides his next steps. The 33-year-old right-hander has been out the last two weeks on the 15-day injured list with a nerve issue in his elbow, but he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and return to Toronto's bullpen before the All-Star break in mid-July. Garcia's fantasy relevance went up when regular closer Jordan Romano (elbow) was shut down again from his throwing program recently. Chad Green has been serving as Toronto's ninth-inning man with both Garcia and Romano out, but when Garcia is able to return, he could take over those closing duties. Garcia is 3-0 on the year with a 2.57 ERA, a 0.79 WHIP, 37 K's and five saves in his 28 innings of work in 2024.
