The Nationals optioned Garcia to their taxi squad Monday.

Garcia will surrender his spot on the 26-man active roster with Josh Harrison set to return from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Cardinals. After joining the Nationals for Opening Day while 11 players were on the shelf due to COVID-19-related concerns, Garcia appeared in six games and went 1-for-7 at the dish. He'll likely head to the Nats' alternate site in Fredericksburg once the team's series in St. Louis concludes Wednesday.
