Luis García Stats

Washington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia (groin) is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester in Indianapolis, per beat writer Mark Zuckerman. Garcia told reporters that his groin, which has kept him out since August 13, is no longer bothering him. The 22-year-old rookie has been a solid contributor for the Nationals this season, posting a .289/.301/.417 triple-slash line to go along with four home runs, 25 RBI, and one stolen base over 228 at-bats. If all goes well in the minors, he could be back with the Nationals later this week.

The Washington Nationals are expected to place second baseman Luis Garcia (groin) on the injured list Monday. He missed the last two games due to a groin issue. The severity of Garcia's groin injury is unknown, but he will be out for at least the next 10 days. The 22-year-old is slashing .289/.301/.417 with four home runs, 25 RBI, 18 runs, and one stolen base across 237 plate appearances in 60 games. Washington will call up top prospect C.J. Abrams from Triple-A Rochester to fill the void at second base. Abrams should be rostered in all leagues due to his tremendous upside. The 21-year-old slashed .232/.285/.320 with two homers, 16 runs, 11 RBI, and a stolen base with the San Diego in 21 games.
