Dodgers: It’s Time to Test Yimi Garcia in High Leverage Situations

The one constant for the Dodgers’ bullpen this season has been inconsistency. Relievers in the pen have taken turns alternating between the go-to reliever and the mop-up reliever. One of those relievers who is peaking right now is Yimi Garcia. Yimi returned to the big leagues this season after battling injuries the last few seasons.

Despite a slow start to his 2019 season, the Dodgers stuck with Yimi Garcia since he is out of options. He has always had good stuff, the problem has come down to injuries and being unable to stay on the field consistently. Even after his injuries, Yimi is averaging 94 miles per hour on his fastball this season which is impressive given it’s movement.
