Garcia went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's loss to the Phillies. He took Aaron Nola deep in the opening frame for his 18th home run of the year. Garcia later added an RBI single in the fifth, but the Nationals ultimately fell short in their season finale. The 24-year-old Garcia showed tremendous growth in 2024, setting career highs across the board. The infielder finishes his breakout season with a .282 batting average, 18 home runs, 70 RBI, 58 runs scored and 22 stolen bases in 140 games played.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. The Nationals will go with Jose Tena at second base and Trey Lipscomb at third base, which shields Garcia from a lefty (Shota Imanaga) and affords him some extra rest for his banged-up right wrist. Garcia returned to the lineup Saturday after missing several games and notched a couple hits, though he was limited to designated-hitter duties. It's uncertain when he'll be back in the infield.

Garcia (wrist) will DH and bat third Saturday against the Cubs. Garcia missed back-to-back games with soreness in his right wrist, but he'll return to the starting nine Saturday. Considering the pain is in his throwing arm, the Nationals could give Garcia a couple of days at DH before having him return to the field. Jose Tena is playing second base.
