García was great offensively during the spring with a .405 batting average, 1.058 OPS, two home runs and five RBI in 17 Grapefruit League games.
The 23-year-old also showcased his versatility by playing all three outfield positions for the Pirates.
Garcia , known by his nickname “The Password,” and 18-year-old right-handed prospect Jesus Travieso were acquired by the Pirates in a trade with the Boston Red Sox in December.
Boston received pitcher Johan Oviedo and two prospects in the deal.
Garcia made his MLB debut late in the 2025 season when Wilyer Abreu went on the injured list. Prior to his call up, Garcia was hitting .303/.367/.564 with the Worcester Red Sox with 17 home runs.
