In the late-2010s, Deivi Garcia was the New York Yankees’ top pitching prospect and was considered a future star. However, after an impressive showing in 2020 as a rookie, both his injury luck and command began to regress, causing him to fall out of the organization’s immediate plans in 2022.
This week, the Yankees promoted Garcia to the active roster to serve as bullpen depth and are giving him another opportunity to prove that he truly belongs in the major leagues.
However, this chance might be short-lived, as fringe roster fill-in players often lose their spots once injured stars recover and return.
