Garcia Knee Soreness Proves Minor, Back in Lineup
Luis Garcia Jr. sat out briefly with knee soreness but was cleared and returned to Washington's lineup the following day.
Nationals first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. was removed from Friday's game against the Braves due to knee soreness. The issue turned out to be minor, and Garcia was back in the starting lineup Saturday. The 26-year-old is having a career year with a 135 wRC+ and 23 home runs. His health is particularly relevant given his status as a trade deadline target.
