The Rays have acquired reliever Edgar García from the Phillies this afternoon, and designated INF Daniel Robertson for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. García will report to the Rays alternative training site in Port Charlotte.
Who is Edgar Garcia?
Only 23-years-old, Edgar Garcia joins the Rays organization with one season of Major League experience under his belt.
Garcia was signed by the Phillies in 2014 and in 2019, after posting a 2.48 ERA in 29 innings at Triple-A, was promoted to the MLB where he would go on to pitch 39 innings for the Phillies.
