Jaime Garcia News
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jaime Garcia will go in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Nationals on Saturday, while Cole Hamels will start Game 2. Saturday's start will be Garcia's debut with the Cubs after he went 3-6 with an ugly 5.93 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 8.4 K/9 over 25 outings (13 starts) for the Blue Jays this year. Garcia is a very risky streaming choice in NL-only leagues. Hamels, on the other hand, has been sensational for the Cubs since being acquired from the Rangers. He's gone 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8.6 K/9 in seven starts. Start him against the Nats.
The Chicago Cubs brought up pitcher Jaime Garciaon Tuesday. They bought his contract from the Triple-A club and he joins their bullpen. Garcia has struggled this season when he was with the Blue Jays. The lefty was 3-6 with a 5.93 ERA in 25 games (13 starts). However, the Cubs may have found a role for him. Left-handed batters batted .188 against him, so despite the overall poor numbers, he could serve an important role as an arm out of the bullpen that can be brought in to face a tough left-handed batter (or a stretch of a lineup with multiple dangerous ones).
The Chicago Cubs are signing free-agent starting pitcher Jaime Garcia to a minor league deal on Friday. Garcia held left-handed batters to a .188 average with the Blue Jays this year, and the Cubs plan to give him a few relief appearances in the minors before they give him a look. Overall for Toronto this year, the left-hander was 3-6 with an ugly 5.93 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 8.4 K/9 in 25 outings (13 starts). Garcia is well off the fantasy radar.
