Rony Garcia

Garcia was one of a handful of Detroit pitchers who dealt with injuries in 2022. The righty went down with shoulder soreness in late July and never returned. Before the injury, Garcia recorded a 4.41 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 48 strikeouts across 51 innings. He split his time between the rotation and bullpen, making eight starts and eight relief appearances. Garcia is reportedly healthy and should have a normal spring training, which puts him squarely in Detroit's 2023 pitching equation. He'll be 25 at the start of the season and has shown enough flashes to potentially start for a team that is still searching for reliable rotation options. Eduardo Rodriguez should lead the way, and he'll likely be followed by Matt Manning and Spencer Turnbull, the latter who is returning from Tommy John surgery. Beau Brieske, Alex Faedo and Tyler Alexander are also in the mix, but none have been particularly dominant in the majors. Garcia still figures to end up in the bullpen, but he'll have more fantasy value if he's making starts and pitching well.
