Ready to throw again Garcia (shoulder) said he plans to do some throwing on the field Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Garcia's ability to start up a throwing program just three days after landing on the 15-day injured list supports the notion that his sore right shoulder isn't anything too serious. The right-hander is eligible to come off the IL on July 15, but since the Tigers will only play three more games after that date before heading into the All-Star break, he won't be a lock to get activated even if he's fully cleared by then.

IL move official The Tigers officially placed Garcia (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Impact Since the transaction is retroactive to Thursday, Garcia will be eligible to return from the IL on July 15, but the Tigers will most likely hold him out through the All-Star break. Garrett Hill's contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, and he'll fill Garcia's spot in the rotation beginning with Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Placed on 15-day injured list Garcia was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder soreness, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Garcia reported shoulder soreness during his warmups Saturday. Garrett Hill is now slated to make his MLB debut as a starter in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland, and Alex Faedo will start the second game as the designated 27th man. Garcia, meanwhile, will likely need to undergo additional tests to determine the severity of his shoulder issue.

Earns another win Garcia (3-2) allowed one run on four hits across five innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Giants. He walked two and struck out four.
Impact An Evan Longoria solo home run in the first inning was the only damage against Garcia, and the righty cruised from there. He's been good lately, earning wins in his last three outings while registering a 2.76 ERA across 16.1 innings of work. The 24-year-old figures to stick in the rotation as long as he's pitching like this. Garcia is currently slated to start again Tuesday against the Guardians.

Snags second win Garcia (2-2) earned the win during Friday's 5-1 victory over Arizona, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5.1 innings.
Impact Making his sixth straight start, Garcia put multiple runners on in only the first and fourth innings en route to a season-best 59 game score and narrowly missed consecutive quality starts after being pulled with one out in the fifth. In those six turns, the 24-year-old has posted a 5.52 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 27 strikeouts through 29.1 innings and lines up to start again midweek against San Francisco.

Picks up first win Garcia (1-2) earned a six-inning win Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out five and walking none.
Impact Garcia has primarily been used as a reliever this season, but has started in his last five appearances. He allowed three earned runs in Saturday's game, but picked up the win thanks to Detroit's offensive outburst. The righty threw a single game season high 92 pitches, 60 of which were strikes. He also showed good command by not walking a batter in the game. Garcia will carry a 4.97 ERA into his next outing.

Takes second loss Monday Garcia (0-2) allowed four runs on five hits across four innings to take the loss Monday against the White Sox. He walked two and struck out three.
Impact Making his fourth start of the year, Garcia turned in another so-so effort. As a starter, he now has a 7.00 ERA across 18 innings. Garcia found more success earlier in the season as a reliever, registering a 2.57 ERA across 14 innings, so the Tigers may move him back to the bullpen at some point, though they're fairly thin in the rotation with Michael Pineda (finger), Eduardo Rodriguez (personal), Matt Manning (biceps), Spencer Turnbull (elbow) and Casey Mize (elbow) all out. For now, Garcia is slated to start again Saturday against the Rangers.

Not starting this week Garcia is expected to work out of the bullpen for the Tigers' weekend series with the Blue Jays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Tigers play only five games this week, and rather than having each of their starters make one start apiece, staff ace Tarik Skubal will stay on a normal four days' rest schedule to start Sunday's series finale versus Toronto. As a result, Garcia finds himself as the odd man out of the rotation, though he could pick up a start early next week against the White Sox if he isn't used too extensively out of the bullpen versus the Blue Jays. The Tigers could also get Eduardo Rodriguez (rib cage) back from the 15-day injured list next week, and at that point, one of Garcia, Beau Brieske or Elvin Rodriguez seems likely to head to the bullpen or get optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Settles for no-decision Sunday Garcia allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings during Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He didn't factor into the decision.
Impact Garcia gave up a two-run homer in the top of the fourth inning Sunday, but he showed improvement after allowing six runs in five innings during his last outing. The right-hander has been inconsistent over his three appearances since joining the starting rotation, and he's settled for no-decisions in two of his three starts. Garcia should remain in the rotation while the Tigers' other starters are dealing with injuries, and he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Blue Jays next Sunday.
