Angels' Luis Garcia: Collects second save
Luis Garcia allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rockies.Garcia got the save chance because Kenley Jansen stayed back in Anaheim to avoid the risks associated with his atrial fibrillation, which has been aggravated by the altitude in past trips to Colorado, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Garcia wasn't exactly at his best, allowing multiple baserunners for the fourth time in his last eight appearances, but he was able to get the job done for his second save of the season. The right-hander has added 11 holds while pitching to a 3.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 48:25 K:BB over 54.1 innings between the Los Angeles Angels, Dodgers and Nationals this season. Garcia has pitched twice in the last three days, so it's unclear if he'll be available should a save situation arise Sunday.

Angels' Luis Garcia: Logs first save of season
Luis Garcia struck out one batter over a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save against the Reds on Wednesday.Kenley Jansen -- the Los Angeles Angels' primary closer throughout the campaign -- is dealing with a rib injury, so interim manager Ray Montgomery turned to Garcia with the team holding a one-run lead heading into the ninth inning. Garcia got the job done, retiring the side in order on 14 pitches (10 strikes). All three batters he faced were right-handed hitters, while southpaw Reid Detmers pitched the eighth and squared off against a lefty and a switch hitter among the four batters he encountered. Jansen is in no danger of losing his closing job, but until he gets back to full health, Garcia could be in the mix for save chances along with Detmers and potentially others.

Dodgers' Luis Garcia: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Los Angeles Dodgers designated Luis Garcia for assignment Sunday.With the Dodgers needing to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Edgardo Henriquez's (foot) return from the 60-day injured list, Garcia ended up being the casualty. Garcia had just returned from a month-long stint on the IL of his own due to an adductor strain, and after tossing a clean inning in Friday's 5-4 win over Kansas City, he unraveled during his appearance in Saturday's 9-5 loss, retiring just one batter while allowing three earned runs on four hits. The 38-year-old righty will now be exposed to waivers as a result of being DFA'd, but it's unclear how much interest he'll attract after pitching to a 5.27 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB over 27.1 innings in the majors this season.
