It doesn't appear to be a serious concern for García. There should be an update on his status in the next week.

Luis Garcia will split time in camp between first and second base.

Fantasy Impact

Washington Nationals president of baseball operations Paul Toboni said the team wants to evaluate Garcia at first base over the next month, as he believes Garcia could be very effective at the position. With the Nationals lacking a clear starting first baseman, Garcia could fill that role. He posted a .252/.289/.412 slash line with 16 home runs across 139 games in 2025.

Luis Garcia has agreed to a contract with the Washington Nationals and avoided arbitration with the club. Garcia will make $6.875 million in 2026.

Fantasy Impact

Garcia, who will turn 26 in May, is starting to become one of the better fantasy second basemen in baseball after posting back-to-back solid seasons in Washington. Last year, Garcia had a bit of a decline, but still batted .252 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases in 139 games. He should be a regular starter and should hit in the middle of the Washington lineup in 2026.

Luis Garcia went 3-for-4 in the loss to the White Sox, blasting three home runs while driving in four runs and scoring three times.

Fantasy Impact

After today’s game, Garcia has a .255 batting average with 66 RBI, 16 home runs, and 123 hits across 137 games this season.

Luis Garcia went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Cubs, driving in three runs with a home run and scoring once.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the disappointing outcome, Garcia has had a solid season, now sitting with a .261 average, 60 RBI, and 12 home runs across 122 games.
