Astros’ Luis Garcia exits with elbow discomfort in nightmare two starts after Tommy John rehab

Source: New York Post

In just his second start back from Tommy John surgery rehab, Houston right-hander Luis Garcia left Tuesday’s 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays in the second inning with elbow discomfort, raising concerns about the pitcher’s status and an already banged-up Astros’ rotation.   Garcia had thrown just 28 pitches when he signaled to the Astros bullpen to come out and check on him following a 1-1 88 mph pitch that was out of the strike zone to Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement.   Astros manager Joe Espada, along with the team trainer, came out to check on Garcia, and he was pulled from the game shortly after.
