Yimi García (elbow) allowed one run on one hit while walking two on Wednesday for Triple-A Buffalo.

García threw just eight of his 21 pitches for strikes, but he did earn one strikeout. The 35-year-old is continuing to work his way back from elbow surgery and will likely need another couple of appearances at Triple-A before he is ready to return.

On the broadcast, they reported Garcia was throwing like 93 MPH.  Yimi might be dead 🥹

Yeah the Statcast box score is the stuff of nightmares. Yimi's velocity was down 2-3 MPH on most of his offerings with a corresponding decrease of approximately 300 RPM. Maybe he'll be able to return as more of a middle relief option but it appears as though the premium fireman version of Garcia is a thing of the past.
