Returns from IL The Red Sox reinstated Garcia (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact Garcia has been held out of action since late August due to inflammation in his right elbow, but he's now been cleared to return after throwing a scoreless inning during a rehab appearance in Triple-A on Tuesday. The 37-year-old reliever has allowed 13 earned runs in just 11.1 innings since joining the Red Sox, and he'll most likely work in middle relief during the final stretch. Cooper Criswell was optioned to Worcester in a corresponding move.

Starting rehab assignment Garcia (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Garcia is three weeks removed from landing on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, but he is ready to test things out in a game setting. The veteran reliever should rejoin the Red Sox' bullpen in short order if he checks out well. He's been torched for 13 earned runs in 11.1 innings since being acquired by Boston at the trade deadline.

Impact Since joining the Red Sox in late July, Garcia has allowed 13 earned runs in just 11.1 innings out of the bullpen, and he'll now be held out of action for at least the next 15 days. Josh Winckowski was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open roster spot.

Traded to Boston The Red Sox acquired Garcia from the Angels on Tuesday for an unspecified return, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Garcia briefly stepped in as the Halos' closer after the departure of Carlos Estevez but has now been traded himself. The 37-year-old Garcia joined Anaheim on a one-year deal during the offseason and has a 3.71 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 40:14 over 43.2 innings this year. He should serve as a setup man to closer Kenley Jansen, while Ben Joyce is primed to take over as the Angels' closer.

Records first post-Estevez save Garcia earned a save against Oakland on Sunday, retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.
Impact Angels manager Ron Washington said before the game Sunday that Garcia would step into the closer role after Carlos Estevez was traded to Philadelphia on Saturday, and the skipper held true to this word when he brought Garcia into the contest with Los Angeles up by two runs in the top of the ninth inning. The veteran reliever did his part to reward his manager's confidence, needing just nine pitches to set the side down in order. The save was Garcia's career-high fourth of the campaign, and he's added 12 holds along with a 3.71 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB over 43.2 frames overall. Sunday's outcome suggests that fantasy managers in need of a closer can feel confident in adding Garcia if he's still available on the wire.

Stepping in as closer Angels manager Ron Washington said Sunday that Garcia will take over at the club's primary closer, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact The departure of Carlos Estevez leaves the Halos with a hole in the ninth inning, and Garcia will receive the first look as the team's new closer. Garcia has three saves and 12 holds with a 3.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB across 44 appearances this year. The veteran right-hander is also a candidate to be traded ahead of Tuesday's deadline given his expiring contact, in which case Ben Joyce would likely see most of those opportunities.

Nabs win in relief Monday Garcia (5-1) earned the win over Seattle on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning in relief.
Impact All-Star Tyler Anderson gave the Angels 5.2 innings of one-run ball but received no offensive support while he was in the game. Garcia entered in the eighth with the game tied 1-1 and was effective despite throwing just 10 of 19 pitches for strikes, as he yielded only an infield single and fanned the final two batters he faced. The righty reliever then moved into position for the victory when Los Angeles scored twice in the top of the ninth. Garcia has been one of the team's top high-leverage options this season, and he's been very effective of late, posting a 1.32 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over his past 13.2 innings spanning 12 appearances. He's notched four wins and five holds over that span.

Notches third save Garcia struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Astros.
Impact Carlos Estevez had pitched both of the prior two days, giving up a run each time, so Angels manager Ron Washington turned to Garcia to wrap things up. The 37-year-old right-hander has never collected more than three saves in a season and his 5.06 ERA doesn't suggest he'll remain a reliable high-leverage option, but for now he seems to be the next man up when Estevez isn't available.
