Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia departed Saturday's contest in the first inning after experiencing discomfort in his left hamstring. He recently returned from the IL after missing a month of action with a strain to the same hamstring, so it's a bit concerning that he got lifted after playing one half-inning in right field. Perhaps the club is just playing it cautious with Garcia, but look for an update on his status prior to Sunday's finale versus the Mets.

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) from the injured list on Tuesday and optioned Peyton Burdick to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Garcia will immediately return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, as he's starting in right field and hitting cleanup. The 31-year-old veteran will be playing in his first major league game since Aug. 2, but he did get six minor league games to shake the rust off before he was reinstated. Garcia will return to being Miami's regular right fielder to close out the 2022 season. In 323 at-bats this year, he's slashing .232/.269/.322 with seven long balls, 30 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left hamstring. He was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds with left hamstring discomfort. The 31-year-old has struggled this season, slashing .232/.269/.322 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, and 29 runs in 88 games. Garrett Cooper (wrist) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Cooper has been solid this season, slashing .279/.347/.426 with seven home runs, 40 RBI, and 28 runs in 84 games. The Marlins are also with Jorge Soler (back), Cooper, JJ Bleday, and Bryan De La Cruz should see an uptick in at-bats while Miami is short-handed in the outfield.

The severity of Garcia's injury is unknown now, and he's considered daily. He will undergo further evaluation and the team should provide an update after the game. The 31-year-old has struggled this season, slashing .232/.269/.322 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, and 29 runs in 88 games. JJ Bleday replaced Garcia in Tuesday's game. Bleday would see an uptick in playing time if Garcia were to miss any time.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the New York Mets. Garcia will get a breather in a day game on Monday after going 5-for-20 (.250) with a homer and three RBI in five games over the last week for the Fish. Overall, he's hitting just .226/.266/.314 with four home runs, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases in 218 plate appearances over 54 games, so he hasn't done a ton for fantasy managers. Jerar Encarnacion will get the start in right field on Monday and will hit seventh against Mets left-hander David Peterson. The 24-year-old rookie made his major league debut on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and two runs scored.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia will return to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was activated from the COVID-19 list on Sunday, but didn't make an appearance in that contest. He'll bat sixth and play right field versus right-hander Ryan Feltner on Monday. Fantasy managers should double check in their lineup and make sure Garcia isn't on the bench.

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia from the COVID-19 injured list on Sunday and placed pitcher Cody Poteet (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow injury in a corresponding move. The Marlins also designated Joe Dunand for assignment. Garcia will return to the team after being put on the COVID injured list on Friday. The 30-year-old should return to the starting lineup on Sunday against Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried. Garcia hasn't been very useful to fantasy managers in his first year in Miami, as he's hitting just .207/.237/.290 with three home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and three stolen bases in 152 plate appearances over 38 games.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia was placed on the injured list without a designation on Friday. When this happens, it is safe to assume that the player either tested positive for COVID-19 or was feeling under the weather. There is no way to know when he will return until we know more about the situation, so stay tuned. The Marlins activated Jon Berti from IL in a corresponding move.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia homered again on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in an 8-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. It's been a dreadful start to the year for Garcia, who is in his first season in Miami, but things have started to pick up in the past few games. Garcia has recorded at least one hit in eight of his last nine outings, and he's slashing .370/.393/.593 with two homers and a steal in his last seven. Fantasy managers could do much worse than a soild power-speed option who bats in the middle of a sneakily decent lineup.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against left-hander Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Brian Anderson is shifting over to cover right field for the game. Garcia has had a quiet start to the 2022 season. Over 20 games, he's slashing .177/.207/.253 with one home run, three doubles and two stolen bases. He's gone just 2-for-17 against lefties, so it's not surprising to see him on the bench for Wednesday's contest.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (illness) was removed from Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals due to an upset stomach. Bryan De La Cruz took over for Garcia after his departure and De La Cruz wound up providing the only run for the Marlins on Tuesday as he hit a solo home run in the sixth inning. Garcia should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game at this point. The 30-year-old has struggled out of the gate this year. Through seven games, he's slashing .192/.222/.346 with one home run, one RBI and two runs scored.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (back) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Kyle Gibson and the Philadelphia Phillies. Garcia has been dealing with a back injury that kept him out of action in each of the team's last two games. Brian Anderson covered right field while Garcia was out, but Anderson is heading to the bench for Thursday's contest. Garcia has gone just 2-for-13 through three games this year. He's still searching for his first extra-base hit.

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia hit a three-run home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League win over the Houston Astros. Garcia got the start in right field and should man one of the corner outfield positions for the Marlins in a slightly improved lineup. He'll be a solid source of power and run production in all fantasy formats. So far, he's the biggest signing for the Marlins this offseason, who should be competing for another fourth place finish in the National League East.

Free-agent outfielder Avisail Garcia will be heading south next season, as he has signed a four-year, $53 million deal with the Miami Marlins, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. After a poor showing in 2020, Garcia put up his best numbers since 2017 last season, slashing .262/.330/.490 with 29 homers, eight steals, 86 RBI and 68 runs scored over 135 games with Milwaukee. Garcia will likely slot into the heart of the order for Miami to provide some solid pop, and he could see some nice RBI totals with the Marlins.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia opted out of his deal with the team on Thursday and will become a free agent after a strong 2021 season. Garcia had a mutual $12 million option for 2022, but instead he'll receive a $2 million buyout and hit the free-agent market this winter. The 30-year-old from Venezuela had a solid season in his second year in Milwaukee, slashing .262/.330/.490 with a career-high and team-high 29 home runs, 86 RBI, 68 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 515 plate appearances over 135 games for the Brew Crew. Milwaukee already has an expensive outfield with Christian Yelich, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Lorenzo Cain, so the chances of Garcia re-signing with the Brewers or accepting a qualifying offer (if one is extended) are slim.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to MLB.com. It appears as just extra rest before the Brewers make a postseason run. He's been a consistent slugger in the middle of the lineup this season, smashing 29 HRs with 85 RBI, 68 runs, and a .265/.333/.496 slash line. Tyrone Taylor will man the outfield and bat cleanup in his place. Taylor has been above average with the bat in 89 games, as he's hit .239 with 12 HRs, five stolen bases, and a .772 OPS. He's better against left-handers, slashing .269/.313/.487, so with southpaw J.A. Happ on the mound, he's not a bad streaming option.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals. Tyrone Taylor is getting the start in right field and batting sixth in the game. Garcia recently became eligible for a mutual option this offseason by hitting a required plate appearance threshold over the past two years. He can opt for free agency at the end of the year now. The 30-year-old has had a strong second season with the Brewers, slashing .270/.337/.506 with 29 home runs, 84 RBI and 67 runs. The Brewers may attempt to bring him back next year as they are lacking in outfield depth behind Christian Yelich.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (back) left Tuesday's game versus the Detroit Tigers with lower back spasms, according to the team. Garcia was removed during the bottom of the sixth inning for outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr.. Before leaving the game, Garcia went 1-for-3 with a stolen base. After the game, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Garcia wouldn't be available for Wednesday's game, but added it's "not anything serious." The 30-year-old has been productive this season, posting 27 HR, 82 RBI, 65 R, and eight SB with a .269/.338/.431 line across 431 at-bats.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians and right-handed starter Zach Plesac. Garcia has logged 474 plate appearances for the Brewers this season and is hitting .267 with a .338 on-base percentage, 25 home runs, and seven stolen bases. The Brewers are starting Jace Peterson in place of Garcia in right field. Peterson, who is also batting fifth against Plesac, could be a quality streaming option on Saturday. The 31-year-old is batting .271 with a .386 on-base percentage, five home runs, and nine stolen bases in 249 plate appearances this year.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring/back) is absent from the starting lineup for a fourth straight game for Monday's matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies. Garcia has been dealing with tightness in his back and hamstring but continues to be day-to-day. He is in the middle of a productive year at the plate, in which he's slashed .267/.339/.483 with 24 HRs, 77 RBI, and 61 runs over 120 games. Fantasy managers hope that he'll return sooner rather than later and keep providing nice pop from the outfield position.
