Avisail Garcia announced his retirement after parts of 13 MLB seasons, highlighted by a 2017 All-Star year; he played for five teams (Tigers, White Sox, Rays, Brewers, Marlins), posted a career line of .263/.316/.417 with 140 homers in just over 1,100 games, and exited after missing the 2025 season following back surgery.
The Miami Marlins have designated outfielder Avisaíl García for assignment after two disappointing and injury-plagued seasons. García, who signed a four-year, $53 million deal in 2022, struggled with poor offensive production and frequent injuries. He is owed over $24 million from his contract, and if released, any team could sign him for a prorated share of the league minimum.
Sandy Alcantara threw a complete game shutout on just 100 pitches, leading the Miami Marlins to a 1-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Avisaíl García's second-inning homer proved to be the difference in the game. Alcantara, the 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner, retired the first 11 batters he faced and allowed just four baserunners overall. The Marlins needed Alcantara to be a stopper after a three-game losing streak, and he delivered with his fourth career shutout.
