Yimi Garcia of the Blue Jays Diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Yimi Garcia, a reliever for the Toronto Blue Jays, has been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, which likely ends his season, as reported by manager John Schneider on Friday.
Garcia is still considering whether to undergo surgery. He has not pitched in the major leagues this season due to recovery from right elbow surgery performed in the off-season. Throughout the season, he has faced setbacks, being removed from several rehab assignments due to new injuries.
The 35-year-old pitcher is in the last year of a two-year, $15 million contract with the Blue Jays, having made only 22 appearances in the MLB during this deal, with a 3.86 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 21 innings last year.
