Garcia, whom the Pirates signed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million in the offseason, was removed from Saturday’s Grapefruit League game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to “left arm tightness.” A day later, reports surfaced that he will not participate in the World Baseball Classic so he can undergo further testing.
Jarlín García is being pulled from the World Baseball Classic, per Derek Shelton. Don't have a timeline for a return and he'll undergo further testing.
