Brandyn Garcia Recalled for Diamondbacks Debut
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced that they have recalled left-handed reliever Brandyn Garcia from Triple-A Reno and designated right-hander Trevor Richards for assignment. Garcia, 25, is in line to debut with the Diamondbacks just two days after coming over in a trade that sent first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners. He made his first two major league appearances with the Mariners earlier this month and yielded two runs (one earned) on four hits with three walks against one strikeout over two innings. Garcia has fared well at two levels in the minors this year, having combined for a 3.51 ERA with 11.34 K/9 and 4.59 BB/9 in 33 1/3 frames between Double-A and Triple-A. MLB Pipeline ranks Garcia as the Diamondbacks' 16th-best prospect and notes that his sinker-sweeper combination should make him a viable reliever in the majors.
