Red Sox's Johanfran Garcia: Healthy again, playing at High-A
Rotowire
The Red Sox reinstated Garcia (knee) from Single-A Salem's 60-day injured list June 10 and assigned him to High-A Greenville.
Garcia has played in five games since joining Greenville, making three starts at catcher while going 5-for-18 with a double and three walks. While playing with Salem in 2024, Garcia sustained a knee injury that required season-ending surgery. He was held out of action for just over a year before he began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on May 20. The 20-year-old backstop slashed .316/.333/.632 with three home runs in 12 games in the FCL before he was cleared to join Greenville.

Red Sox's Johanfran Garcia: Out for season with knee injury
Rotowire
Single-A Salem placed Garcia on its full-season injured list Wednesday after he was carted off the field in a May 1 game with a "significant knee injury" that will require surgery, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
The knee injury is a big setback in the development of Garcia, a 19-year-old catching prospect. Garcia had gotten off to a hot start to the Carolina League season before suffering the injury, slashing .385/.467/.596 with two home runs and five RBI over 60 plate appearances.
