Launches first homer Garcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-0 victory over Detroit on Saturday.
Impact Garcia got the start behind the plate and capitalized on the opportunity with a two-run shot to center field in the second inning. The blast was Garcia's first of the season and seventh overall in his career. The homer was also his first extra-base hit of any kind and accounted for his first two RBI of the campaign.

Wins roster spot Garcia has been informed that he'll make the Athletics' Opening Day roster as the backup catcher, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Garcia was traded from the Rangers to the Athletics in February and impressed while competing with Carlos Perez for a spot on the major-league roster. Garcia was officially informed that he'll begin the year in the big leagues after Perez was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday. Garcia slashed .375/.483/.500 with six RBI and four runs in 12 Cactus League games this spring.

Impact Garcia just arrived in February via trade with the Rangers, but he's been lauded for how quickly he's developed chemistry with the pitching staff. The 28-year-old's body of work as a hitter has arguably been just as impressive, with Garcia looking fully recovered from the hip surgery that wiped out his 2020 season. Veteran Carlos Perez, Garcia's primary competition to serve as Sean Murphy's primary backup, has also enjoyed a solid spring, however, but manager Bob Melvin hinted Wednesday both players could play important roles at the big-league level in 2021. "We're happy with all these guys," Melvin said. "It is nice to have that kind of depth."

Backup bid off to strong start Garcia went 2-for-2 with an RBI and two runs in his Cactus League debut against the Reds on Monday.
Impact The 28-year-old backstop is battling Austin Allen to serve as the primary backup to Sean Murphy (chest), and his bid certainly got off to a good start with Monday's performance. Garcia has multiple solid minor-league seasons at the plate on his professional resume; he appeared capable of carrying over that success to the big-league level with a .286/.308/.492 line (65 plate appearances) during his 2018 major-league debut with the Giants before limping to a .143/.217/.310 slash during his most recent taste of the majors in 2019.

Favorite for backup catcher role Garcia is considered the favorite to serve as the primary backup to Sean Murphy (chest) behind the dish this coming season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old came over from the Rangers as part of the Elvis Andrus trade, and he has an extensive minor-league career during which he's shown some decent pop on his resume. Garcia's initial foray into the big leagues back in 2018 with the Giants was impressive as well, as he slashed .286/.308/.492 with a double, four home runs and nine RBI over 65 plate appearances. However, Garcia managed just a .143/.217/.310 line (46 PAs) the following season and never saw action in 2020. Murphy isn't due to begin baseball activities for some time due to the completion of his recovery from lung surgery, so Garcia could see plenty of reps in early workouts and Cactus League games.

Impact Garcia is on the move once again. The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Rangers in November but could now serve as the Athletics' primary backup behind the plate to begin the 2021 campaign. Garcia didn't appear in the majors in 2020 but hit .143 with two home runs and five RBI across 46 plate appearances with San Francisco in 2019.
