Astros put Luis Garcia on IL with elbow discomfort

Sep 10, 2025, 05:02 PM ET

The Houston Astros placed right-hander Luis Garcia on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow discomfort, a day after he exited his start against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

Garcia was making his second start after sitting out more than two years while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He threw 27 pitches, 14 for strikes, before exiting.

Astros manager Joe Espada said Garcia flew back to Houston on Wednesday for additional tests.

“It was tough, man,” Espada told reporters. “I feel for him like he’s my son. He works extremely hard and that’s a call as a manager you never want to get — [to] be called to the mound because something is wrong. Hopefully we get him back, but that was a very tough conversation.”

Garcia got the win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sept. 1, allowing three hits and three runs in six innings in his first start since May 1, 2023.

Espada said Garcia didn’t have any problems recovering from that start.

Right-hander Nick Hernandez was recalled from Triple A in the corresponding roster move.
