Breaks out with five RBI Garcia went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs, five RBI and a walk during Saturday's 9-5 win over the Cardinals.

Adds stolen base Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

The 29-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-22 (.182) in five games this season, and all four hits have been singles. He's added a steal and one run score. Garcia, Lorenzo Cain and Jackie Bradley will continue to compete for a share of playing time between center field and right field. Garcia will get his at-bats, but it remains to be seen if he'll make them productive in 2021 after he posted a .238/.333/.326 slash line with two homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base in 53 games last season.

Seeing it well early Garcia went 3-for-3 with two RBI and a run in Monday's spring game against the Angels.

Impact Garcia has seen the ball well this spring, and that continued Monday. It appeared early in camp that Garcia was ticketed for a regular spot in right field, but the addition of Jackie Bradley to the mix gives the Brewers four outfielders capable of handling everyday at-bats. Garcia will still see his fair share of action, but it won't be as much now that he, Bradley and Lorenzo Cain figure to share the playing time in center and right field.

Garcia struggled during his first season with Milwaukee in 2020 and slashed .238/.333/.326 with only 12 extra-base hits in 53 games, but he clearly made an effort to change his approach during the offseason.
