Impact Garcia will go on the IL for his right elbow for the second time this season. As a member of the Blue Jays, he was placed on the injured list in June due to right elbow neuritis, and his return was delayed due to neck stiffness. He has struggled since joining the Mariners in late July, posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across nine innings, and he has given up at least one earned run in each of his last three outings. Given his prior injury history in his right elbow, Garcia could be sidelined beyond the 15-day window, putting his availability for September in jeopardy. The Mariners recalled southpaw Gabe Speier from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.
