The Nationals scratched Garcia from the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Garcia exited Friday's 6-2 loss due to a sore right knee before returning to the starting nine Saturday and going 1-for-4 with a double in a 8-3 loss. Per Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic, the Nationals haven't indicated that Garcia has dealt with any setback with his knee, and the 26-year-old will be available off the bench Sunday. With that in mind, Garcia is presumably just being held out of the starting nine as a precaution since his name has popped up in trade rumors as Monday's deadline approaches. Andres Chaparro will pick up the start at first base Sunday and will bat ninth.
