• Braves' Leury Garcia: Heads to Atlanta on MiLB deal

  12/06/2023 • By RotoWire

  Atlanta signed Garcia to a minor-league contract Tuesday. Garcia did not play MLB-affiliated ball in 2023 after being released by the White Sox in the spring, but he just completed an impressive run in the Dominican Winter League and will function as organizational depth for the reigning NL East champs in 2024. The 32-year-old can play just about anywhere defensively.

  Garcia didn't make the White Sox's Opening Day roster, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Chicago has yet to officially announce a roster move, but it appears Garcia won't be included on the club's Opening Day roster.

  Garcia (hand) will return to the White Sox's Cactus League lineup Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Garcia has been battling a left hand issue but is apparently past it. The 32-year-old is set for a utility role again in 2023 and will be looking to bounce back from a dreadful 2022 campaign which saw him post just a .500 OPS over 97 contests.

• White Sox's Leury Garcia: Being viewed as backup

  02/11/2023 • By RotoWire

  Garcia is being viewed as a backup for the White Sox this season, per LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune. Garcia drew quite a bit of playing time under former manager Tony La Russa, but new skipper Pedro Grifol is expected to lean more toward Romy Gonzalez and Lenyn Sosa for the starts at second base. The offseason addition of Andrew Benintendi -- and the rise of top prospect Oscar Colas -- will also cloud the path for Garcia to get looks in the corner outfield. The lack of an everyday role means most fantasy managers can fade Garcia in drafts.
