IL move official The Tigers placed Garcia (abdominal strain) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact The transaction clears a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen for Derek Holland. Garcia didn't pitch at all this spring while recovering from an appendectomy, so he'll likely be sidelined for longer than the minimum 10 days.
APRIL 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Likely bound for IL Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed Sunday that he expects Garcia (appendectomy) to open the season on the 10-day injured list, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact The announcement doesn't come as a major surprise, given that the 23-year-old has yet to pitch in a Grapefruit League game after requiring the appendectomy shortly before reporting to spring training. Once activated from the IL, Garcia will likely fill a low-leverage role out of the Detroit bullpen.

Might start on injured list Garcia (abdomen) could begin the regular season on the injured list, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact This isn't particularly surprising, as Garcia underwent an appendectomy in February and hasn't been able to appear in a Grapefruit League game yet. The righty is going to need some time to get back into game shape, so he looks unlikely for Opening Day. When Garcia is able to return, he should slot in as a middle-relief option for the Tigers.

Sidelined to begin camp Garcia isn't currently working out after recently undergoing an appendectomy, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Garcia made 15 appearances (two starts) for the Tigers last year and posted an 8.14 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 21 innings. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined following his appendectomy, but the right-hander will likely prepare for a middle-relief role in 2021 once he resumes working out.

Earns first big-league win Garcia (1-0) gave up one hit while also walking a batter in 1.1 innings of scoreless work Friday as he was awarded the win against the Indians.
Impact After going down 5-0 early, the Tigers piled on seven runs in the fourth and never looked back, putting Garcia in line for his first-ever major league win. Despite the positive result, Garcia has been quite inconsistent in his inaugural season, giving up eight runs and five home runs in 11.2 innings. He figures to stick as a middle reliever out of the bullpen for the near future.

Makes history in long relief Alexander struck out 10 over 3.2 no-hit innings of long relief Sunday in the Tigers' 4-3 loss to the Reds in the first game of a doubleheader. He didn't factor into the decision in...
Impact After opening pitcher Rony Garcia covered the first two innings, Alexander took over and proceeded to turn in one of the most dominant performances by a relief pitcher in MLB history. He tied an American League record by recording nine consecutive outs via strikeouts, and his 10 punchouts were the most by a reliever since Randy Johnson whiffed 16 as a member of the Diamondbacks in July 2001. Heading into the weekend, Alexander had been hopeful to get a look in the Detroit rotation, and he may finally get his wish after this dazzling outing.

Having also recorded a steal in the team's season opener, Merrifield has gotten off to a strong start in the sprint season.
