Garcia was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Garcia was a longshot to make the expanded major-league roster to begin the regular season, and he'll officially head to the team's alternate training site ahead of the team's season opener Thursday. The right-hander posted a 4.28 ERA and 165:54 K:BB over 111.1 innings in the minors last season and could get the chance to make his major-league debut at some point in 2020.
