Garcia pitched five innings this spring and had just a 1.80 ERA. He only struck out two hitters. Despite the good spring, he was still optioned to Triple-A where he will have a chance to start regularly and continue to refine his arsenal.

Deivi Garcia pitched two scoreless innings with one strikeout against the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite being solid for most of his Minor League career, Garcia owns a 5.27 ERA in 42.2 MLB innings. With a strong spring, Garcia could work his way into a role with the Yankees. Wednesday's outing was a good way to start as he did not allow a walk or a run in two innings.

Yankees pitching prospect Deivi Garica lasted just two innings in Thursday's start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, giving up five runs on five hits.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia has been a top-100 prospect for a couple of years now, but he has continued to struggle recently. The young righty is still worth rostering in all dynasty leagues, but fantasy managers shouldn't count on him for high-end 2021 production.

After Saturday's game, the Yankees sent Deivi García back down to Triple-A. García threw 88 pitches with four earned runs, five hits, one walk, and three strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact

In two starts this season, García pitched 8.1 innings with a 6.48 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. Meanwhile, in Triple-A, García has a 5.17 ERA in 15.2 innings. However, he's struggling with the walks evidenced by a 17.4% walk rate.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone says RHP Deivi Garcia will make a start this weekend.

Fantasy Impact

Boone adds that this was planned before the news of Corey Kluber's injury was revealed. Garcia hasn't had much success this season, so he isn't really a streaming option despite the strong matchup against Detroit.
