Garcia is out of the starting lineup for the series finale against the Mets on Thursday.
Washington will trot out Andres Chaparro at first base for a second straight game as the left-handed-batting Garcia rides the bench against Mets southpaw David Peterson. Despite not receiving the start, Garcia pinch hit for Chaparro in the fifth inning Wednesday when the Mets brought in right-hander Austin Warren. Garcia went 1-for-2 with a single.
