"Last off-season, García re-joined the Blue Jays, signing a two-year deal. When healthy, García was a productive reliever, posting a 3.86 ERA and 3.85 FIP in 21 innings pitched. However, his BB% jumped up to 13.3%, the highest it's ever been and far higher than his career BB% of 6.3%. García's strikeout rate also dropped from 32% in 2024 to 27.8% in 2025."
"Most of his innings came in the first two months of the season, as the Blue Jays placed the veteran reliever on the 15-day injured list on May 24 due to a shoulder impingement. Once he returned, García threw just one inning on Jul. 2 before being placed on the injured list again, this time due to an ankle sprain. In late August, the team announced that his season officially came to an end, as he had elbow surgery to clean up scar tissue."
Yimi García signed with the Blue Jays ahead of 2022 and has appeared in parts of four seasons with the club. The Blue Jays traded him to the Mariners before the 2024 deadline, where he threw nine innings before a season-ending injury. He re-signed a two-year deal and, in limited healthy action, posted a 3.86 ERA and 3.85 FIP across 21 innings while seeing his walk rate rise to 13.3% and his strikeout rate fall to 27.8%. Shoulder and ankle injuries curtailed his 2025 season, and he later underwent elbow surgery to clean up scar tissue. Opponents hit .167 against him in healthy stretches, though five high-leverage innings produced six earned runs, seven walks, and seven strikeouts. The Blue Jays also added other late-inning options, including signing Tyler Rogers and the emergence of Louis Varland.
