Adolis Garcia Undergoes Successful Lat Surgery
The Philadelphia Phillies said on Wednesday that outfielder Adolis Garcia (lat) underwent successful surgery to fix his torn right lat in Chicago, according to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Garcia is facing a recovery time of six to eight months, so he will miss the rest of the 2026 season. The 33-year-old Cuban right-handed slugger should have ample time to be ready for the start of the 2027 campaign, but the damage has been done to his fantasy profile. Before suffering a season-ending torn lat, Garcia was struggling in Philly to the tune of a .195/.270/.329 slash line, .599 OPS, seven home runs, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, three stolen bases, 21 walks, and 84 strikeouts in 67 games across 259 plate appearances. The two-time All-Star has not been the same since he hit a career-best 39 home runs and drove in 107 runs in 2023 with the Texas Rangers on his way to leading them to their first World Series title. There probably isn't going to be a ton of interest in a fading power hitter coming off a serious injury when he hits the open market this winter.
