Luis Garcia Throwing More Live Batting Practice
Houston Astros right-hander Luis Garcia (elbow) has progressed along with his live batting practice sessions without any setbacks. The right-hander has had an extended absence after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in May of 2023. Now, more than two years later, he finds himself on the cusp of beginning another rehab assignment. He started one last year, but was ultimately shut down due to renewed soreness. As such, the team is more likely to take things slowly here in an added effort to eliminate any setbacks. When healthy, Garcia has proven to be a valuable fantasy asset, posting a career 3.68 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 25.3% strikeout rate over his four years as a member of the Astros. His fantasy value for 2025 is limited, but he's worth stashing in AL-Only leagues as Garcia is aiming for a return in early August.
