The Dodgers have placed right-hander on the 15-day injured list due to a right adductor strain. The placement is retroactive to May 29. Righty was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move. Now in his 13th Major League season, Garcia has a 4.50 ERA in 26 innings for Los Angeles, along with a below-average 19.8% strikeout rate and an ungainly 12.9% walk rate. Garcias 4.13 SIERA is a bit more favorable since the groundball specialist has Justin Jackson Jersey been hampered by a .364 BABIP, but he is also allowing a lot of hard contact. Garcia signed a minor league contract with L.A. in February and locked in $1.5MM in guaranteed salary when that contract was selected in advance of the Dodgers early Opening Day in Tokyo. While his results have been up and down over his lengthy career, Garcia has generally been pretty durable, which probably helped his bid to make the team given the injury woes that have only worsened for the Dodgers pitching staff as the season has developed. Incredibly, Garcia is the 15th pitcher currently on the teams injured list. (That number could be viewed as 16, if you consider that is still going through his pitching rehab.) Some help may be coming soon, as manager Dave Roberts told and other media today that relievers and could both be activated within the next week. Getting those two quality bullpen arms back is a nice boost for the team, but needle s to say, pitching health is once again a major subplot of the Dodgers season. While the elite L.A. offense has carried the Dodgers back to first place in the NL West, pitching figures to be a deadline need for Los Angeles regardle s of how many hurlers have returned from the IL by July 31.
