Yimi Garcia

Yimi Garcia (back) hopes to be available to pitch Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran has not pitched since April 28 due to a back issue. He will go through a pregame workout to determine if he is available Wednesday.

Yimi Garcia tossed a perfect inning to notch his third save of the season in the Blue Jays' 3-1 win over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

His performance was efficient, using just nine pitches to secure the victory without allowing any baserunners or runs. Garcia's season has been marked by exceptional control and effectiveness, as evidenced by his stellar 1.17 ERA and 0.39 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (12.9 K/9) while keeping walks to a minimum contributes significantly to his fantasy value, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. Given his consistent performance and role in closing games, Garcia remains a reliable option for fantasy managers in need of saves.

Garcia had a solid outing, throwing 18 pitches over one scoreless inning, working around two hits to earn his second save on the season.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia remains a high leverage arm in the Blue Jays bullpen, earning the save with Jordan Romano (back) day-to-day after leaving the All-Star game with an injury.

Yimi Garcia pitched 2/3 of an inning, allowing three earned runs on three hits while striking out one in Toronto's win over Baltimore on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia came into the game with Toronto ahead 6-3 but allowed a run to score on an Austin Hays RBI double and then gave up a two-run homer to Ryan Mountcastle to tie the game. Fortunately for the Blue Jays, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning. Garcia has three blown saves this season and with a record of 0-3, shouldn't be rostered in most leagues at this point.

According to Jon Morosi, reliever Yimi García signs with the Toronto Blue Jays to bolster their bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

With the Marlins, García recorded all 15 saves in 2021 with a 3.47 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. As an Astros reliever, he served in a setup role with a 5.48 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with zero saves and two holds. With the Astros, he appeared a bit unlucky with a 42.6% LOB% compared to a 71.1% LOB% with the Marlins. Expect García to serve in a middle relief role with the Blue Jays, but could challenge Jordan Roman eventually for saves in 2022.
