Garcia signed a minor league contract with the Astros back in February and has been cut loose after struggling in 15 appearances (nine starts) for Triple-A Sugar Land. The 28-year-old righty has made 76 appearances (four starts) in the majors dating back to 2019.

Garcia actually pitched pretty well this spring, but apparently not good enough to make the Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old made four starts for the Tigers last year and should serve as upper-level depth this season. 

The 27-year-old hurler elected free agency back in November rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Toledo. He actually did a nice job for the Tigers in 2022 -- posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 17/10 K/BB ratio over 20 1/3 innings in his four starts. He'll add rotation depth for the Astros and it wouldn't be surprising to see him make starts with the big league club during the 2023 season.

Garcia refused an outright minor league assignment after being removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster earlier this week. The 27-year-old right-hander held his own this past season in the majors, finishing with a 3.54 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 17/10 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings (four starts). He should be able to latch on elsewhere as organizational pitching depth.
