The Washington Nationals reinstated left-hander Robert Garcia (illness) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and designated right-hander Matt Barnes for assignment in a corresponding move. Garcia has missed the last couple of weeks due to a bout with the flu, but he's feeling better now and will return to Washington's bullpen. The 27-year-old made one minor-league rehab outing. Garcia, a former 15th-round pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2017 out of UC Davis, made his big-league debut last year with the Miami Marlins and Nationals and has allowed six earned runs on 12 hits (one home run) while walking four and striking out 13 in his 8 1/3 relief innings for the Nats this year. He's off the fantasy radar for now.
