Luis Garcia Gets Day Off Wednesday
3 years agoWashington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins, according to MLB.com. It's a rare day off for the rookie, who has started the past 18 days. Garcia is slashing .231/.271/.407 with five home runs over 56 games. The power hasn't quite shown up yet after smacking 13 HRs in 37 Triple-A contests the year. Jordy Mercer will get the start at second and bat seventh against the left-handed Trevor Rogers. Mercer has a .683 OPS across 38 games this season but is hitting .306 against lefties and could be a deep league streaming option.
