Astros RHP Luis Garcia (elbow) leaves start in second inning
Sep 9, 2025; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia (77) throws a pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays during the first inning at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Luis Garcia left Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the second inning due to right elbow discomfort.
Garcia, 28, was making his second start since undergoing Tommy John surgery. He had last pitched in the major leagues in May 2023 before his return Sept. 1.
Immediately upon throwing a pitch to Ernie Clement, Garcia motioned toward his arm, and after a visit from the Astros' training staff, he immediately left the game with two outs and one runner on base. According to reporters, his velocity was down throughout his start on Tuesday before leaving the game.
Garcia threw one strikeout and one walk with no hits through 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
He has a 29-19 record and a 3.60 ERA over 359 2/3 innings across five seasons with Houston.
