Freddy made the 1st start of his minor league rehab assignment yesterday for the Kannapolis Intimidators:
Garcia was limited to three innings as he builds his way back to the Bigs, but looked sharp in his brief stint. He seemed to focus primarily on his off-speed pitches, flashing both an effective slider and curveball.
it was pretty hot:
Garcia fanned three in the 95-degree heat and helped his own cause by inducing two double plays in a 3-2 victory over Rome.
