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

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.
