Phillies' Luis Garcia: Added to 40-man roster

Garcia's contract was selected by the Phillies on Friday.

Much of Garcia's prospect shine wore off in 2019, when he posted an awful .186/.261/.255 line over a full season at Low-A Lakewood. He was just 18 and was clearly overmatched, however, and he looked much better at the same level in 2021, hitting .246/.356/.423. He's still nowhere close to MLB-ready, as he didn't do much in 16 games after a late-season promotion to High-A to close the year, but the Phillies evidently saw enough to bother protecting him from the Rule 5 draft.
