Yimi Garcia Stats

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Yimi Garcia blew a save on Opening Day on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals but was credited with the win in an eventual 10-9 win. Jordan Romano picked up the save for Toronto. Garcia allowed two hits and two runs while walking two and striking out none in his inning of work in the eighth inning in the first game of the regular season. It wasn't the greatest start for the 32-year-old right-handed reliever, but it's telling that he worked ahead of Romano in the eighth inning with a one-run lead. Garcia had a career-high 22 holds in 2022 and will remain valuable in fantasy leagues that count holds.

Toronto Blue Jays skipper Charlie Montoyo was impressed with right-hander Yimi Garcia's (back) first minor league rehab outing on Monday with Triple-A Buffalo when he struck out two batters in one inning of work. "Maybe just that one," Montoyo said when asked how long the rehab assignment will be for Garcia. "Maybe he could just meet us in Seattle." Garcia went on the injured list with a back strain in late June, but the 31-year-old is likely to give Toronto some more bullpen depth this week. Before his injury, Garcia had a 3.42 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and only five walks in 26 1/3 relief innings for the Jays.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Yimi Garcia (side) wasn't available for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox due to left-side discomfort. He will be re-evaluated over the weekend. The 31-year-old allowed two hits while striking out one across a scoreless inning in Tuesday's win over the White Sox. He started dealing with side discomfort after Tuesday's outing and is considered day-to-day. Garcia owns a 3.42 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 26 strikeouts over 26 1/3 innings in 2022. The Blue Jays right-hander is 0-for-3 in save opportunities but has racked up 12 holds over 28 games. Garcia holds more fantasy value in saves and holds leagues, and fantasy managers should know his status for the upcoming weekend series against the Boston Red Sox.
