Jhostynxon Garcia Batting Fifth in MLB Debut
Jhostynxon Garcia is starting in center field and will bat fifth in his major-league debut in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees and left-hander Max Fried on Friday. It will not be an easy first assignment for Garcia. The 22-year-old Venezuelan was called up to the majors for the first time this week after hitting a combined .289/.363/.512 with an .875 OPS, 20 home runs, 73 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases in 99 games with Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. It's unclear how much playing time he'll get in Beantown with the BoSox trying to make a run to get into the postseason over the final stretch of the year. Garcia should at least be rostered in dynasty/keeper formats, though, as the team's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. "The Password" has some of the best raw power among right-handed prospects in the game.
