ALTOONA, Pa. - Yeudy Garcia was removed in the second inning of Wednesday night's Curve game with a back injury. Manager Michael Ryan provided an update after the game saying that Garcia pulled something in his back, and it was very evident after the final pitch he threw tonight.

Garcia did not look good before being pulled from the game anyway, but the back injury did not seem to affect him in the first inning. After a bunch of hard hit balls and a walk in the second, Garcia was pulled during the middle of an at-bat to Portland's Rafael Devers.
