Yankees Sign Former Astros Starter Luis Garcia to Minor-League Deal

The New York Yankees have signed right-handed pitcher Luis Garcia to a minor-league contract. Garcia, formerly a starter for the Houston Astros, is currently working his way back from Tommy John surgery. The Yankees are taking a flier on the recovering veteran arm, hoping he can provide depth once fully healthy. This low-risk move allows the organization to evaluate Garcia's progress as he continues his rehabilitation process following the major elbow procedure and recovery timeline.
