  • Astros' Luis Garcia: On cusp of rehab assignment

    Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Garcia (elbow) could begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League his weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The 27-year-old threw a 32-pitch live bullpen session over the weekend and is just about ready for game action. Garcia will likely need to throw another bullpen session before being cleared for games, at which point he'll jump into a lengthy rehab assignment as he finishes up his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Inching toward rehab assignment

    Garcia (elbow) threw a live bullpen session Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Garcia will begin a minor-league rehab assignment if the right-hander responds well to Saturday's session. Garcia is in the latter stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. In his last full season in 2022 with the Astros, Garcia went 15-8 over 28 starts with a 3.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 157:47 K:BB across 157.1 innings.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Throws live BP

    Garcia (elbow) threw a 25-pitch live batting practice session Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Garcia took another step forward after throwing a simulated inning one week prior to Friday's session. He's expected to report to Houston's spring training facility in the next few days, where he'll throw two or three more live batting practices. Assuming Garcia feels okay after that, he's expected to begin a rehab assignment.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Tosses simulated inning

    Garcia (elbow) threw 20 pitches in a simulated inning Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Garcia faced live batters during the outing and didn't appear to suffer any discomfort or setbacks Friday while he rehabs from Tommy John surgery. The 26-year-old has been throwing small bullpen sessions for over a month and will need a rehab assignment prior to being cleared.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Still waiting on rehab assignment

    Garcia (elbow) threw 20 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Garcia has been throwing bullpen sessions since April but is purposefully being brought along slowly by the Astros. He'll require a lengthy rehab stint and will remain sidelined until at least halfway through the regular season.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Still throwing side sessions

    Garcia (elbow) completed his most recent bullpen session Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Garcia was cleared to resume throwing off a mound in the middle of April and has remained at the same stage of his recovery program for three weeks. The Astros haven't indicated that Garcia has experienced any setbacks in his recovery from his May 19, 2023 Tommy John surgery, so the right-hander could soon be cleared to face hitters in live batting practice. Houston is hopeful to get Garcia back from the 60-day injured list at some point around the middle of the season.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Throwing bullpen sessions

    Garcia (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Garcia is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and resumed throwing bullpen sessions in April. He's still several months away from a return to the mound, as he'll need to continue to build up his arm strength before embarking on a lengthy rehab assignment.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Astros transferred Garcia (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Garcia isn't expected to return to the Astros until midseason after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his timeline. He will temporarily give up his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Cooper Hummel, who was claimed off waivers from the Giants in a corresponding move. Per MLB.com, manager Joe Espada said that Garcia was able to take a major step forward in his recovery from Tommy John surgery Monday, when he threw a 15-pitch bullpen session. Garcia will likely increase the volume and intensity of his side sessions over the next few weeks before advancing to facing hitters in live batting practice.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Throws bullpen session

    Garcia (elbow) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Astros manager Joe Espada proclaimed Garcia ahead of schedule after the session. While certainly good to hear, the right-hander will still almost surely be sidelined at least until around midseason while recovering from last May's Tommy John surgery.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Goes on injured list

    The Astros placed Garcia (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Settles with Houston

    The Astros and Garcia (elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.875 million contract Thursday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Goes through workout

    Garcia (elbow) went through pitchers' fielding practice with his Astros teammates during the club's pre-ALDS workout Thursday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Since he's less than five months removed from Tommy John surgery, Garcia wasn't allowed to participate in the throwing portion of PFPs. The right-hander is slated to be sidelined at least until around midseason of next year.

  • Astros' Luis Garcia: Pushed to 60-day IL

    The Astros transferred Garcia (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    The transaction is merely a procedural move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Grae Kessinger, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of Monday's game in Toronto. Garcia will miss the remainder of the 2023 season and likely a large portion of the 2024 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow May 19.
