AVISAÍL GARCÍA NEWS

Homers, three RBI Wednesday Garcia went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Garcia launched a three-run home run off J.B. Wendelken in the top of the ninth inning, his second long ball of the season. The 30-year-old also notched a single earlier in the game, notching his second multi-hit effort in his last three games. Garcia has now put together a five-game hit streak after going hitless in his prior four contests, raising his batting average from .171 to .204 in the process. After a strong season with Milwaukee in 2021, the Marlins hope that he can round back into form following a slow start to 2022.

Impact Garcia was kept out of the lineup Monday and Tuesday due to the back issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern if the team is considering using him off the bench.

Impact Garcia was originally slated to bat cleanup as the designated hitter, but Garrett Cooper (wrist) will instead serve as Miami's designated hitter. There's been no announcement of an injury, so it could just be an early day off for Garcia, who is 2-for-13 through the first three games of the season.

Goes yard in spring opener Garcia went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

Impact Houston didn't exactly send its best to Roger Dean Stadium, as Garcia's homer came off minor-league arm Jimmy Endersby, but it was still a nice way to start the spring schedule for one of Miami's big free-agent signings. Garcia posted the best power numbers of his career last season for the Brewers, slashing .262/.330/.490 with 29 homers and 86 RBI in 135 games, and the Marlins are hoping the 30-year-old can supply similar production in the heart of their order.
