Eligibility
Luis Garcia is not expected to miss much time after jamming his wrist Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia suffered the injury while sliding into second base and was removed in the eighth inning Sunday. With the Nationals off yesterday, Garcia could be given Tuesday off to ensure he does not have any setbacks.
Luis Garcia went 1-for-1 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in the Nationals' 9-3 victory over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia's performance, highlighted by a critical home run, significantly contributed to the team's win. This season, Garcia has maintained a solid .300 batting average and his power display, although infrequent with just two homers, shows potential for more. His ability to drive in runs, now totaling 14 RBI, coupled with a decent speed on bases, suggests he could be a valuable all-around asset in fantasy lineups. Fantasy managers should consider his consistent contact and emerging power, especially in leagues that value middle infielders who contribute across multiple categories.
Luis Garcia went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and a walk in the Nationals' 2-0 win over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not driving in any runs or scoring, Garcia's ability to get on base and steal twice was crucial in a tightly contested game. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .294 batting average through 16 games. The increase in stolen bases could hint at a more aggressive baserunning approach, which would enhance his fantasy value, especially in categories leagues. Garcia's consistent contact and emerging speed game make him a player to watch or pick up if available in fantasy leagues.
Luis Garcia went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Nationals' 6-4 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's win, marking his first homer of the season. Garcia's performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .318 batting average and a .371 wOBA, which are promising indicators for fantasy managers. Fantasy managers should consider Garcia a viable option at second base, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and RBI.

Fantasy Impact
