A right wrist injury, which required surgery, ended Starlin Castro’s 2020 campaign in mid-August, and opened up an opportunity for 20-year-old infielder Luis García, who reached Double-A Harrisburg in the Washington Nationals’ system in 2019, after he signed a $1.5M contract with the club in 2016.
García went 2 for 5 with a double in his MLB debut, and his manager, Davey Martinez, said afterwards that the infielder would get the chance to play every day over the final month-plus in the 60-game campaign.
