• Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes seventh bag

  Rotowire May 23, 2025

Garcia's .222/.271/.346 slash line on the season is a far cry from the .282/.318/.444 line he delivered in a breakout 2024, but he's maintained some fantasy value with four homers, seven stolen bases, 19 RBI and 20 runs in 43 contests.
