Player Outlook
When he made his major-league debut in August of 2020, just 90 days after his 20th birthday, it sure appeared that Luis Garcia was headed toward a long and prosperous career. It could still happen -- he's still young -- but a lot of the prospect shine has already worn off as he enters his age-24 campaign. Garcia posted a greatly-improved 12.4 strikeout percentage last season, down from 22.3 percent the year before, but he got on base at only a .304 clip and owns a career .295 OBP through his first 1,245 big-league plate appearances. He's not particularly fast, nor does he hit the ball particularly hard, so it's difficult to envision a sudden breakout in 2024. On top of all that, the Nationals aren't guaranteeing that Garcia will be their starting second baseman come Opening Day.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Two hits, steal in loss

    Rotowire
    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres. Garcia snapped an 0-for-7 skid at the plate and also picked up his first steal since July 5. The infielder is up to 13 thefts on 16 attempts this season. He's added a .278/.308/.442 slash line with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 34 runs scored and 17 doubles over 87 contests, putting him on pace for a career year in nearly every offensive category, though he remains limited to a strong-side platoon role at second base.

    Rotowire
    Garcia went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win against the Brewers.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Homers twice Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Garcia went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk, three total runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-5 win against the Mets. Garcia hit a three-run shot in the sixth inning and added a solo blast in the eighth. It was the second multi-homer game of the infielder's career, and the four RBI tied a season-high mark. Garcia has already matched the career-high total of nine long balls he accumulated last year, and he's 10 shy of his career-best mark of 50 RBI, which he also reached last season.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swats fifth homer

    Rotowire
    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners. With the Nationals trailing 1-0, Garcia gave MacKenzie Gore all the support he would need by driving a George Kirby slider over the fence in left-center field. It was the second baseman's second long ball in the last four games and his fifth of the season. After a 3-for-33 swoon in the middle of May, Garcia could be heating up again, as he's gone 5-for-16 with six RBI in those last four contests.

  • Nationals' Luis Garcia: Pops fourth homer

    Rotowire
    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's victory over the Twins.

The 24-year-old second baseman entered the game in a cold spell in which he hit .091 (3-for-33) over his previous nine games while battling wrist and heel ailments. This performance may be a sign that Garcia is feeling healthy. He's batting .281 on the season in 145 plate appearances.
