NextImg:Yankees designate Deivi Garcia for assignment in latest disappointing turn

CHICAGO – Deivi Garcia’s days with the Yankees could be over.

The Yankees designated Garcia for assignment on Monday to make room on the 40-man roster for Jonathan Loaisiga to be activated off the 60-day injured list.

While Garcia enters limbo to see if another team claims him, it marks the latest disappointing turn in the former top prospect’s career.

Garcia, 24, had a 5.67 ERA in 28 appearances this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as a multi-inning reliever.

The former starter pitched in two games this year for the Yankees, including recording a three-inning save in May.

As recently as before the 2021 season Garcia was a top-100 prospect that was projected to be part of the Yankees’ rotation of the furure, even garnering some comparisons to Pedro Martinez.

He flashed some of that potential during the COVID-shortened 2020 season when he recorded a 4.98 ERA in six starts. 

But the right-hander only made two starts in 2021, giving up six earned runs in 8 ⅓ innings.

Then last season, Garcia accrued a 6.89 ERA between Triple-A SWB and Double-A Somerset.
