- The Pittsburgh Pirates have been reporting progress on Garcia’s recovery from a lower-back issue, with rehab assignments beginning in early May 2026.

- Early 2026 season performance included a strong Grapefruit League showing in spring 2026, followed by a challenging stint at Triple-A with limited production, which appeared to be affected by his back during the period before rehab. As of mid-May 2026 reports, he had moved into a rehab assignment and was aiming for full health before returning to Indianapolis for more at-bats.
