The Mariners transferred Garcia (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Garcia was shut down from throwing Tuesday after experiencing a setback during a bullpen session, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially prevent him from pitching again this season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 3.46 ERA and 0.90 WHIP alongside a 49:12 K:BB across 39 innings. Seby Zavala was selected from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the opening on Seattle's 40-man roster.

Garcia (elbow) was pulled off his throwing program Tuesday after reporting discomfort following a bullpen session, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Garcia has been on the injured list since Aug. 23 with right elbow inflammation, and his latest setback indicates that he likely isn't close to a return to Seattle's bullpen. The Mariners will evaluate him to determine the severity of the issue, but there is no guarantee that the 34-year-old righty will make it back before the end of the season.

Garcia (shoulder) has begun throwing at extended spring training in Arizona, MLB.com reports. General manager Justin Hollander notes Garcia remains without a timeline for return, but there's still hope the right-hander will be able to pitch again at some point in September. Garcia was in the early stages of his Mariners tenure when the shoulder issue popped up, as he'd been acquired via trade from the Blue Jays on July 26 and had logged a total of nine innings across 10 appearances.

The Mariners placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday, due to right elbow inflammation. Garcia will go on the IL with elbow trouble for the second time this season. As a member of the Blue Jays, he landed on the shelf in June due to right elbow neuritis, and his return was delayed due to neck stiffness. He has struggled since joining the Mariners in late July, posting a 6.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across nine innings, and he has given up at least one earned run in each of his last three outings. Given his prior injury history, Garcia could be sidelined beyond the 15-day window, putting his availability for Seattle's playoff push in jeopardy. The Mariners recalled southpaw Gabe Speier from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Garcia recorded his 13th hold of the season in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday, allowing an earned run on a walk over two-thirds of an inning. Garcia issued an inning-opening walk to Austin Meadows in the eighth inning before retiring the next two batters, but Andres Munoz then surrendered a two-run home run to Javier Baez that allowed Meadows to cross the plate. Garcia has been charged with a combined three earned runs over the last two days and five overall in his last five appearances, a stark contrast to the four straight scoreless one-inning outings with which he opened his Mariners tenure.
