Overview

  • Manager John Schneider said Friday that Garcia will undergo right-arm surgery to remove scar tissue from his elbow, with the procedure date still to be determined.
  • Garcia finished 2025 with a 3.86 ERA, three saves, and 25 strikeouts in 21 innings across 22 games in the first year of a two-year, $15 million contract.
  • The announcement came hours before Toronto hosted the Milwaukee Brewers.
  • Anthony Santander took batting practice with teammates for the first time in months and also completed running and fielding drills after not playing since May 29 due to a left shoulder injury.
  • Schneider said Santander will repeat the work through the weekend, is expected to travel to Cincinnati, and could begin a minor league rehab assignment after that series.
