Davey Martinez said the reports from Rochester were positive when he asked about how 21-year-old infielder Luis García was doing with Washington’s top minor league affiliate before the Nationals called him up this past Tuesday to take injured outfielder Victor Robles’s spot on the big league roster.
“He’s doing well,” Martinez said. García has a .235/.293/.426 line, a double, and four homers in 17 games and 75 plate appearances with the Triple-A Red Wings this season, after he got a shot at making his major league debut last summer in the 60-game COVID campaign. He has, apparently, been maturing with age as well.
