Availability
The Pirates optioned Jhostynxon Garcia to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia went 7-for-35 since being called up in May. Davis Wendzel had his contract selected as the corresponding move.
Jhostynxon Garcia is expected to be called up from Triple-A ahead of Tuesday's game.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia was dealt to the Pirates from Boston back in December as part of the trade that sent pitcher Johan Oviedo to the Red Sox. Garcia has played exclusively in the minors so far this year, posting a .242/.291/.463 slash line with six homers over 103 plate appearances. "The Password" will likely find some at-bats in place of Ryan O'Hearn (quad), who has landed on the IL.
Jhostynxon Garcia has concluded his rehab assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia will continue to play with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Garcia slashed .405/.463/.595 with two home runs, five RBI and three steals across 41 plate appearances in 17 Grapefruit League games but was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis Saturday. He won't be part of Pittsburgh's Opening Day roster.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia is expected to get a look in the majors at some point this season, particularly when the Pirates need additional outfield depth.
The Pirates acquired OF Jhostynxon Garcia and RHP Jesus Travieso from the Red Sox for RHP Johan Oviedo, LHP Tyler Samaniego and C Adonys Guzman.
Fantasy Impact
Garcia headlines this five-player trade between Pittsburgh and Boston. He lands in an opportunity to see more playing time with the Pirates. Garcia appeared in five games this past season with the Red Sox. He will enter spring training looking to compete for an immediate starting role in the outfield for the Pirates.
