Leury Garcia Stats

Chicago White Sox infielder Leury Garcia is not expected to make the Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old has struggled, hitting .222 with a homer, two RBI, and two stolen bases this spring. It sounds like Hanser Alberto has beaten out Garcia for a reserve infielder spot on the roster. It's uncertain what is going to happen to Garcia considering he has two years and $11 million remaining on his contract. Possibly, Garcia is traded or sent to the minors until he's needed on the big league roster. That being said, it's hard to imagine Garcia having fantasy value to begin the season.

Chicago White Sox infielder Leury Garcia is being viewed as a backup heading into spring training this year. The White Sox and new manager Pedro Grifol are expected to use more of Romy Gonzalez and Lenyn Sosa at the keystone in 2023. The good news for Garcia is that he can also play some corner outfield, although playing time could be an issue there as well with Andrew Benintendi now on the team. The 31-year-old Dominican hit a disappointing .210/.233/.267 with a .500 OPS, three home runs, 20 RBI and 38 runs scored in 315 plate appearances and 97 games in his 10th year with the club. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues can probably avoid him unless an injury to another player opens up regular playing time for Garcia.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Leury Garcia (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Luis Gil and the New York Yankees. He'll be batting ninth and covering the keystone in the game. Garcia was a late scratch from the lineup on Wednesday as he was dealing with ankle soreness. Josh Harrison covered second base for Wednesday's game and he is out of the lineup on Thursday. Garcia hasn't provided much offensive support for the White Sox this year. Over 22 games, he's slashing .186/.205/.314 with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs.
