"Gabriel Moreno's hand injury last June opened the door for Garcia to twice have his contract selected to the Diamondbacks' active roster, though both of those promotions were soon followed by Garcia being designated for assignment and then outrighted off the 40-man roster. Garcia had the right to elect free agency after either of those outrights but he chose to remain in the organization on both occasions."
"Garcia's time on the big league roster saw him appear in just two games in 2025, and he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in his only four plate appearances. Between not playing in the majors at all in 2023 and going hitless in seven PA (over three games) with the Phillies in 2024, it has now been over three years since Garcia's last MLB hit, which speaks to his career path as a journeyman."
Aramis Garcia signed a new minor-league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks that likely includes an invitation to big-league Spring Training. Gabriel Moreno's hand injury last June led to Garcia having his contract selected twice, but both promotions ended with him being designated for assignment and outrighted off the 40-man roster; he declined free agency both times and remained with the organization. Garcia appeared in two MLB games in 2025, went 0-for-4, and extended a hitless stretch exceeding three years. Garcia has a career .208/.245/.321 line with 10 home runs in 331 MLB plate appearances. He slashed .266/.385/.481 over 296 plate appearances for Triple-A Reno in 2025.
