JARLÍN GARCÍA NEWS

Throws two perfect innings Garcia struck out one across two perfect innings in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Garcia has been used sparingly among his struggles in June, as he had allowed six runs (five earned) in his three previous appearances this month. He was much more efficient Sunday, throwing 12 of 17 pitches for strikes. The southpaw trimmed his ERA back down to 1.99 with a 0.88 WHIP and a 16:7 K:BB across 22.2 innings while adding a 1-2 record, two holds and a blown save. He sees mainly mid-leverage opportunities, though they have yet to lead to many holds or saves, as Camilo Doval and Jake McGee remain atop the Giants' bullpen hierarchy.

Allows first earned runs in loss Garcia (1-2) allowed four runs on four hits in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Phillies.

Impact Garcia took the ball for the sixth inning, but he gave up a pair of two-run homers to Nick Maron and Kyle Schwarber. Those were the first earned runs Garcia has allowed all season -- he didn't give up a run of any kind in 11.1 innings in May. It'll also count as a blown save for the 29-year-old southpaw, who now has a 2.08 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 17.1 innings this year. Given how well he's performed outside of Wednesday's hiccup, Garcia should see a chance to redeem himself in the near future.

Yet to yield run in May Garcia pitched a scoreless inning Tuesday versus the Mets, allowing one hit with no walks and no strikeouts.

Impact Garcia has yet to give up a run in May, posting a 10.2-inning scoreless streak. The only two runs on his ledger this season were unearned, and he's added a 0.73 WHIP, 11:6 K:BB, a hold and a 1-1 record in 16.1 innings. The southpaw has been a bright spot in a Giants bullpen that has endured some struggles lately, so he could push for more holds going forward.

Covers two scoreless innings Garcia logged two perfect innings and struck out one during Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact Garcia had no trouble protecting a large lead in the seventh and eighth innings. The reliever's two runs allowed this season were both unearned, and he hasn't given up any runs in his last 5.2 innings. He's added a 0.88 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB across 11.1 innings in a high-leverage role. He's only picked up one hold in 11 outings, but Garcia remains an unsung hero in the Giants' bullpen, and he's a trusted played for manager Gabe Kapler.

Takes extra-inning loss Garcia (1-1) took the loss in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in one-third of an inning.

Impact With the Giants' presumed closer committee deployed in the seventh through ninth innings, Garcia was tasked with the 10th. He wasn't able to stop the Mets from completing their comeback, allowing a walkoff single to Francisco Lindor. This was the first run allowed by Garcia in 3.2 innings this season, though it won't damage his ERA since it was the automatic runner used in extra innings. The southpaw has added a 1.36 WHIP and 4:4 K:BB in four outings, though he should be able to regain his command as the season progresses. Garcia probably won't see many save chances, but he'll remain an important part of the high-leverage mix.

Earns win in relief Garcia (1-0) struck out two in two perfect innings to earn the win over Miami on Sunday.

Impact Garcia had a versatile role for the Giants last year, as he picked up a career-high six wins while also logging 11 holds in 58 relief appearances. Jake McGee, Camilo Doval and Tyler Rogers figure to garner more high-leverage opportunities than Garcia in 2022, but the southpaw had a 25.3 percent strikeout rate last year and could factor into the late-inning mix if injuries occur or if any of those three options struggle.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Settling in for versatile role Garcia allowed one hit and one walk with one strikeout in 1.2 innings versus Texas on Friday.

Impact Garcia had allowed five runs across his first 1.2 innings in spring training, but he settled down Friday. The southpaw saw a versatile role last year as a multi-inning reliever. He posted a 6-3 record, 2.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB in 68.2 innings across 58 appearances. He added a save and 11 holds with the occasional look in high-leverage moments. Garcia probably won't factor into the closer conversation much -- Jake McGee, Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval are set to get the save chances early on. Garcia could still be an option if some of those late-inning candidates falter early in the season.

Re-signed by Giants Garcia and the Giants agreed to a one-year. $1.725 million contract Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Garcia had a strong season in 2021, appearing in 58 contests while registering a 2.62 ERA and 0.96 WHIP while striking out 68 over 68.2 innings. His 11 holds ranked third on the team and left-hander will remain a late-inning option for the Giants again in 2022.

Gathers ninth hold Garcia allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn a hold in Saturday's 2-0 win over Atlanta.

Impact Garcia hit a rough patch recently, allowing four runs (two earned) in his last four innings, but he was able to get back on track Saturday in a close game. The southpaw has been an effective and versatile reliever with a 2.40 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 65:18 K:BB across 63.2 innings this season. He's added a 6-3 record, one save and eight holds, although his ability to work multiple innings has mostly kept him out of the closer conversation.

Collects relief win Garcia (6-3) won Friday's 3-2 triumph over the Dodgers, allowing one hit with two strikeouts in one inning.

Impact After allowing the leadoff batter to reach, Garcia was able to navigate a no-out runners-on-the-corners situation to keep Los Angeles off the board. He became the winner when San Francisco walked it off in the bottom of the inning and now has four wins dating back to the start of August. In that stretch, Garcia has permitted just three runs in 17.1 innings for dazzling 1.58 ERA.

Excels in long relief Garcia tossed 3.2 scoreless innings in relief in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers. He struck out four and gave up one hit in the 40-pitch appearance.

Impact After Alex Wood (illness) and Johnny Cueto (illness) were placed on the COVID-19 injured list prior to Monday's series opener, the Giants opted for an impromptu bullpen game. Though manager Gabe Kapler didn't name a primary pitcher for the contest, Garcia ended up covering the bulk of the innings and excelled in what was his longest outing of the season. While Wood is confirmed to have tested positive for the virus and will be sidelined for at least 10 days, Cueto hasn't tested positive and appears to have been placed on the list as a precaution while he recovers from cold- and flu-like symptoms. Kapler noted that Cueto could be ready to start as soon as Tuesday, so Garcia doesn't look on track to receive any more extended outings out of the bullpen in the foreseeable future.

Gathers win Thursday Garcia (5-3) allowed two hits and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday over the Mets.

Impact Starter Alex Wood allowed a game-tying two-run home run to Pete Alonso in the sixth inning, prompting manager Gabe Kapler to bring in Garcia. The southpaw delivered solid work over five outs, and San Francisco took the lead in the eighth to put him in line for his career-high fifth win of the year. Garcia has a strong 2.66 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 54:13 K:BB with a save and eight holds in 50.2 innings this year.

Strong in long relief Garcia allowed one hit and struck out one in 2.1 innings during Saturday's 6-5 win over Oakland.

Impact Through 11 innings in August, Garcia has given up five runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts. The left-hander has pitched well in a versatile role this year with a 2.76 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB across 49 innings. He's added a 4-3 record, one save and eight holds, although his ability to cover multiple innings has often kept him out of a truly high-leverage role.

Takes extra-inning loss Garcia (3-3) allowed an unearned run on one hit without retiring a batter, taking the loss Friday versus Milwaukee.

Impact The 28-year-old allowed a walkoff single to Rowdy Tellez in the 10th inning. This was Garcia's first loss since June 19 -- in the 17.1 innings between then and Friday, he yielded just three runs (two earned) on five hits, two walks and a hit batter. The southpaw has become a prominent figure in San Francisco's bullpen, although not to the extent of the late-inning duo of Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers, who each pitched scoreless innings to keep Friday's game tied. Garcia has a 2.63 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB with a save, six holds and a blown save through 37 appearances.

Collects third win Garcia (3-2) allowed a hit over two scoreless innings to earn the extra-inning win over Arizona on Monday.

Impact Both Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers had been leaned on heavily in the last few days, so Garcia took the mound with the game tied at 8-8 in the ninth inning. After he got the job done in his first inning of work, San Francisco pulled ahead in the 10th before the southpaw added another scoreless inning to complete the win. Since the start of July, he's allowed just one run on five hits and a walk with 14 strikeouts in 13.1 innings. Garcia owns a 2.70 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 40 innings, which has made him a high-leverage option for manager Gabe Kapler.

Earns win Monday Garcia (2-2) struck out two batters over 1.1 perfect innings as he earned the win over the Dodgers on Monday.

Impact Garcia entered with two outs in the fifth to face the left-handed Cody Bellinger and took care of business. He came back out for the sixth and induced a quick groundout before striking out the final two batters he faced. The 28-year-old has collected two wins and two holds in his last four outings, and he's held the opposition scoreless in his last six appearances -- a 6.1-inning span in which he's struck out 10 while allowing just one hit and one walk. For the year, he owns a 3.13 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB over 31.2 innings.

Earns win Friday Garcia (1-2) allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the win versus Washington on Friday.

Impact The left-hander worked the fifth inning of a tied game, and Darin Ruf put San Francisco ahead in the bottom of the fifth. That lead held up to earn Garcia his first win of the year in 26 appearances. The 28-year-old has done fairly well in a low-leverage role with a 3.34 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB across 29.2 innings. He's added three holds, one save and a blown save, but most of Garcia's work is expected to be in the middle innings.
