Garcia underwent surgery last September to clean up scar tissue in his right elbow. It’s an encouraging sign that he has been throwing for multiple weeks, and while the Blue Jays plan to take a cautious approach as he builds back up, he could be ready for Opening Day. Garcia finished 2025 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, three saves and 25 strikeouts across 21 innings.

Garcia was originally placed on the injured list July 5 with a left ankle sprain, but he received a cortisone shot in his right elbow last week and was subsequently shut down from throwing. He'll likely require a rehab assignment and is looking at a late August or September return to the Blue Jays bullpen.
