Garcia is expected to sit out the 2025 season while continuing his recovery from back surgery, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Garcia underwent surgery in October to address a fracture and disc issue in his lower back and doesn't plan to return to game action until the Venezuelan Winter League. The 33-year-old slashed .240/.255/.380 across 51 plate appearances with the Marlins in 2024 before being released in June.
