The Marlins have designated Avisail Garcia for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia had been rehabbing a hamstring injury, starting a rehab assignment last week. He is in the third year of a four-year, $53 million contract. The Marlins will eat nearly $24 million on the deal.

Avisail Garcia (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia will play seven innings in his first game during his rehab assignment. Fantasy managers should expect Garcia to need multiple rehab games before returning to the active roster.

Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is scheduled to be re-evaluated in the next few days for a return to game action.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia is currently participating in baseball activities, but he has not appeared in a game since late-April. Fantasy managers should expect Garcia to need a lengthy rehab assignment.

Avisail Garcia went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot provided a glimmer of hope but wasn't enough to secure a win. Garcia's season has been underwhelming with a mere .200 batting average and just two home runs over 14 games. His power stroke in this game could hint at potential improvements, but his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers.
