Garcia has spent his entire career so far in the Detroit Tigers organization, reaching the big leagues in each of the last four seasons with the club. Over 76 career appearances, all but four of which came out of the bullpen, Garcia owns a career 5.52 ERA and minuscule 8.3% K-BB% across 20 1/3 innings of work. He made all four of his appearances as a starter in 2022 but also worked as the team's closer late in the 2020 season as he has locked down six career saves as well.
