2019 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia broke camp with the White Sox in a utility role, but knee and hamstring injuries limited him to fewer than 90 games for a second consecutive season. When healthy, the switch hitter primarily played outfield and slashed .271/.303/.376 with four homers and a career-best 12 stolen bases (13 attempts) in 275 plate appearances. His plate discipline could still use some work (25.1 K%, 3.3 BB%), but Garcia possesses a modest combination of power and (more so) speed that could be useful in AL-only formats if an injury opens the door for regular playing time. Garcia is expected to reprise his utility role to begin 2019. Read Past Outlooks

Avoids arbitration
Garcia signed a one-year, $1.55 million deal with the White Sox on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of Fancred reports.
ANALYSIS
Garcia only played in 82 games due to knee and hamstring injuries that forced him to spend two separate stints on the disabled list. The 27-year-old also missed time the previous season with hand and finger issues, so there's real durability concerns here. He wound up slashing .271/.303/.376 with four home runs, 32 RBI and 12 stolen bases for the White Sox in 2018.

A strong spring, defensive versatility and an injury to Charlie Tilson paved the way for Garcia to break camp with the White Sox. After Jacob May struggled early, Garcia took over in center field, slashing 298/.345/.459 until landing on the disabled list with a sprained left finger in mid-June. Garcia returned in late July, playing regularly until September 1 when he was felled by another hand injury, this time a sprained thumb, ending the season at .270/.316/.423 as regression inevitably kicked in. For the season, Garcia was a disappointing 8-for-13 as a base stealer, since he was known more for speed than pop. Chances are, if Garcia hadn’t gotten hurt, his slide would have continued, as his .321 BABIP was not supported by a hard hit rate well below league average. Long-term, Garcia profiles as a reserve, able to handle all three outfield spots plus middle infield. In 2018, he may start in the outfield by default, rendering him an asset in AL-only.
