The Marlins placed Garcia on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder presumably suffered the injury Saturday against the Nationals, as he went 1-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced by a pinch hitter. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Garcia will be sidelined until at least May 8. Outfielder Dane Myers was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia notched his second home run of the campaign Monday but was unable to collect his first multi-hit game of 2024. The outfielder has generated a hit in five of his last six games but owns a .200/.220/.375 slash line through 14 appearances.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Garcia launched a Bailey Falter splitter up in the zone deep to right-center field, giving Miami a 6-4 lead in the fourth inning that the bullpen couldn't protect. Garcia has started two of the Marlins' first four games, all in right field, and gone 2-for-12 with four strikeouts. Sunday's home run has accounted for his only extra-base hit or RBI.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Thursday's season opener against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia's $12 million salary is the second-highest on the Marlins, but he nonetheless finds himself on the bench for Opening Day against right-hander Mitch Keller. Bryan De La Cruz will be the designated hitter, while Nick Gordon and Jesus Sanchez will handle the corner outfield spots.

Garcia is batting .179 (5-for-28) through 10 Grapefruit League games with one double and a 2:10 BB:K.

EDGE Analysis

After an injury-plagued 2023 that saw him play only 37 games and stumble to a .185/.241/.315 slash line with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate, Garcia came into camp healthy this spring but hasn't shown any kind of noticeable improvement at the plate. The Marlins are hoping the 32-year-old can regain the form that saw him slug 29 homers for the Brewers in 2021 and replace Jorge Soler in their DH slot, but at this point Garcia's looking like little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes. With two years and $24 million left on his contract though, Miami isn't likely to cut bait on him completely just yet.

Garcia (hamstring) has begun hitting and running progressions, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia's most recent trip to the injured list came back in late August due to a left hamstring strain. While he's begun to ramp things back up, it's not clear whether there's enough time left in the season for his return. Even if he does make it back this month, Garcia seems unlikely to have much of a role with the Marlins as the team fights for a playoff berth.

The Marlins placed Garcia (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia's move to the IL comes as little surprise after he was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring upon exiting in the third inning of Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Padres. The 31-year-old has been playing sparingly over the past couple of weeks and already missed time in April due to an injury to the same hamstring, so fantasy managers in the majority of leagues can feel free to cut bait with Garcia now that he's back on the IL again.

Garcia suffered a left hamstring strain in Tuesday's game against the Padres, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia exited the game after suffering the injury while running to first base. There hasn't been an official roster move, though the diagnosis suggests that there's a strong possibility of Garcia being placed on the injured list. Bryan De La Cruz should get more consistent playing time if Garcia is forced to miss additional time.

Garcia exited Thursday's game against the Padres with an apparent hip or hamstring injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia was running to first base when he appeared to suffer the injury. He exited with trainers, though the severity and exact nature of the issue remains unclear. Bryan De La Cruz took over for Garcia in left field.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a 3-1 loss to the Dodgers in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

Garcia wasn't in the lineup for the matinee, but he played the full nightcap in left field with Bryan De La Cruz sitting versus southpaw Julio Urias. The steal was Garcia's second of the year. The veteran outfielder has been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since returning from a back injury in late July. He's slashing just .190/.248/.324 with three home runs, 11 RBI, eight runs scored and three doubles over 113 plate appearances this season.
