Maybe it came a little sooner than expected, but the second DFA for Rico Garcia took place Saturday night following the New York Mets win over the San Francisco Giants. Garcia pitched on back-to-back days for the Mets, first logging a scoreless frame on Friday and finishing off the blowout victory with 2 runs charged against him on as many hits.
In 8 games with the Mets, he’ll hit the waiver wire with a 2.13 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts in 12.2 innings. Batters hit just .159 against him in a Mets uniform.
