The New York Yankees made a subtle signing on Thursday. There are multiple pitchers named Luis Garcia in MLB, and the one who was a free agent isn't any longer. The Yankees signed the Garcia that used to pitch for the Astros, according to Yankees Prospect Watch .
This Garcia was part of Houston's 2022 World Series championship team and has a 3. 60 ERA in his MLB career. The problem for Garcia has been health.
He pitched in six games at the MLB level in 2023, none in 2024 and two in 2025. He's slated to miss the entire 2026 season, so Garcia is believed to have signed a two-year contract with New York. He can rehab this year and try to get back on the mound in 2027.
