Avisaíl García, a free agent outfielder, is set to miss the entire season following back surgery that addressed a fracture and disc injury. Though there was no clear recovery timeline, sources suggest he aims to return to play in winter ball in Venezuela next offseason. García's previous stint with the Miami Marlins was disappointing, hitting just .217 in over two seasons before being released. Despite the injury, he will earn a significant payment from the Marlins this year as they manage his contract obligations.
"García is targeting a return in winter ball in his native Venezuela next offseason, indicating a potential comeback after missing the entire season due to injury."
"The Marlins still owe García a decent chunk of money, as he will collect a $12MM salary this year and a $5MM option buyout at season's end."
