Garcia has just two games of big-league experience at first base but is expected to see most of his playing time there this season. The Nationals are hoping reduced defensive responsibilities will help his bat after he slashed .252/.289/.412 with 16 home runs and 14 steals across 139 games in 2025. (Jessica Camerato)
