What It Means:

It was reported earlier that the two sides were close to finalizing a trade, but that no longer appears to be the case. The 31-year-old left-hander has a rather checkered bill of health for his career, so something may have gone wrong with the physical. Garcia is currently scheduled to start for the Braves on Friday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers, but Aaron Blair has been called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill in if the deal does get done.

Garcia owns a 4.33 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 18.2 strikeout percentage in 106 innings this year. He's 3-7 through 17 starts. numberFire's models project him to turn in a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 16.9 strikeout percentage in 76 2/3 innings over the rest of the season.
