Could return from IL in Colorado Garcia is tentatively expected to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Colorado, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Of the five Astros on the COVID-19 IL, only Jose Altuve appears unlikely to rejoin the team in Colorado while he waits to clear all MLB health and safety protocols. Once they arrive in Denver, the quartet of Garcia, Martin Maldonado, Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez will still have a few more hurdles to clear related to COVID-19 intake testing, but all four should be eligible to play Tuesday if they continue to test negative for the virus. Once reinstated, Garcia will likely see limited use as a utility man for Houston.

Begins individual workouts Astros manager Dusty Baker said Sunday that Garcia (COVID-19 injured list) has been cleared to resume individual workouts, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Garcia and the other four Astros placed on the COVID-19 IL on Wednesday all appear to have finished their respective quarantine periods, but Baker didn't specify when any of the players might be ready to rejoin the team. Since Baker previously mentioned that the five players in question are unlikely to be available for the team's ongoing road trip, Garcia's earliest possible return date would most likely be Thursday, when the Astros host the Angels.

Unlikely to return during road trip Garcia (COVID-19 protocols) is unlikely to return during the Astros' current five-game road trip, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Garcia was one of several Astros who were placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether Garcia has tested positive for the virus, but manager Dusty Baker said Friday that none of the five players are likely to return before the team returns home Thursday. Alex De Goti could continue to see at-bats for the Astros while Garcia is out.
