Garcia said he is working on adding a splitter to his arsenal this spring, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Garcia has a mid-90s fastball and a wipeout slider already, but his biggest issue has always been his command. He's managed to keep the walks in check thus far this spring with just one in 5.2 innings. Manager Pete Mackanin admitted that Garcia is on the roster bubble as the Phillies may need his 40-man roster spot if they decide to add a non-roster invitee to their squad when they head north for the start of the regular season. Given Garcia's tools, it is likely he would be claimed by another club looking for bullpen depth.
