  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle against right-hander Wednesday

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia will get a rare night off against a right-hander in Andre Pallante, who owns significant reverse splits both this season and throughout his career. Amed Rosario will receive the start at second base in place of Garcia, who has gone 4-for-22 over his last eight games to bring his batting average down to .266 for the season.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle against southpaw

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    The Red Sox are sending Garrett Crochet to the hill, so Garcia will retreat to the bench after starting the first two games of the series. Amed Rosario will replace Garcia at second base.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Not in lineup for first game

    Garcia is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia will sit out the first game of the day, but he should be back in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Jack Flaherty. Amed Rosario will start at second base and bat third in the matinee.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Delivers three-hit effort in win

    Garcia went 3-for-6 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 15-9 win over the Angels.

    Garcia has put together a strong June, batting .317 (26-for-82) with 13 RBI and eight extra-base hits over 22 games this month. The second baseman was one of three Nationals to post a trio of hits in the team's 19-hit attack Friday. Garcia is up to a .273/.314/.424 slash line with seven home runs, 38 RBI, 37 runs scored, 19 doubles and seven stolen bases over 73 contests. He is holding down a strong-side platoon role at the keystone, with Amed Rosario encroaching on his playing time as a platoon partner after Garcia began the season drawing at least some starts versus southpaws.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Bangs out three hits Thursday

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Rockies.

    The knocks didn't produce any offense, but only because James Wood kept homering in front of him to clear the decks. Garcia has been locked in at the plate for over a month, slashing .327/.358/.525 in his last 106 plate appearances with 11 doubles, three homers, 14 runs and 18 RBI. The one blemish on his resume during that stretch has been his performance on the basepaths -- Garcia has stolen only one bag in five attempts during those 27 games after beginning the season with a perfect 6-for-6 showing.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Taking seat Monday

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia had started in each of the Nationals' last eight games -- including three matchups versus southpaws -- but he'll move to the bench for the series opener while lefty Carson Palmquist takes the bump for Colorado. With fresh call-up Brady House making his MLB debut Monday and likely to serve as the Nationals' everyday third baseman moving forward, the right-handed-hitting Amed Rosario could end up spelling Garcia more frequently at second base when the Nationals face lefties. Rosario had previously occupied the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with Jose Tena, who was optioned to Triple-A Rochester to open up a roster spot for House.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle Friday

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

    The lefty-hitting Garcia will dodge a matchup with southpaw Patrick Corbin. In his stead, Nasim Nunez will bat ninth and play second base.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Stays hot at plate

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI single during Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Cubs.

    Garcia provided the Nationals' lone run Thursday, plating Daylen Lile in the bottom of the ninth inning to avoid a shutout. The performance also marked Garcia's fourth multi-hit game in his last six appearances, and he's 12-for-27 (.444) with four doubles, five runs scored and seven RBI during that stretch. On the year, Garcia is slashing .263/.305/.412 with five homers and seven steals in 54 games.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle Wednesday

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Garcia has started in each of the last seven games, and the Cubs are sending a left-hander (Matthew Boyd) to the hill, so Nationals manager Dave Martinez likely decided it was an ideal time to give the second baseman a night off. Nasim Nunez will cover the keystone in Garcia's stead.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Launches fifth homer

    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's win over the Mariners.

    The second baseman got Washington on the board by taking George Kirby deep in the second inning, one of four long balls on the night by the Nats. Garcia has found a groove at the plate since returning from paternity leave in mid-May, batting .281 (9-for-32) over his last nine games with two of his five homers on the season, as well as four doubles, five runs and seven RBI.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle against southpaw

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    The Nationals included Garcia in the lineup Saturday against southpaw Kyle Harrison, but the second baseman will take a seat Sunday against lefty Robbie Ray. Nasim Nunez will get a start at the keystone in Garcia's stead.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes seventh bag

    Garcia went 0-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning win over Atlanta.

    The second baseman has gone 4-for-20 with a homer, a steal and six RBI in five games since rejoining the Nationals following a stint on the paternity list. Garcia's .222/.271/.346 slash line on the season is a far cry from the .282/.318/.444 line he delivered in a breakout 2024, but he's maintained some fantasy value with four homers, seven stolen bases, 19 RBI and 20 runs in 43 contests.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Drives in three in win

    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Orioles.

    Garcia hit a two-run single in the first inning and drove in another run on a double in the second. The second baseman has gone just 9-for-45 in so far in May but has tallied multi-hit efforts in each of his past two starts. On the season, he's hitting .229 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 19 runs scored and six steals across 157 plate appearances.

    Garcia is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Orioles on Friday.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Goes on paternity leave

    The Nationals placed Garcia on the paternity list Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Garcia will likely miss the remainder of the Nationals' series in Atlanta before rejoining the team Friday in Baltimore. Trey Lipscomb has taken Garcia's roster spot and Amed Rosario will likely handle second base while Garcia is away.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Goes deep in win

    Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Reds.

    Garcia plated the game's first run on a sacrifice in the second and then pushed the Nationals ahead for good with a solo shot to right in the seventh. Sunday was Garcia's third multi-RBI effort this season and he now has five RBI over his last five games, bringing his season total up to 12.
