Brewers 2026 non-roster invitee suffers forearm fracture

Originally signed as a teenage prospect in 2018, utility player Eduardo Garcia finally has broken out over the past year. In 2025, he worked his way up to Double-A, slashing a combined .243/.330/.395 between stints with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and Biloxi Shuckers. He also stolen 41 bases, a career best by a wide margin. 

Garcia continued that momentum into winter, electing to play baseball in his home country while affiliated ball in the United States is in their off-season. The results were amazing, as through 34 games he had a .324/.395/.581 slash line with six home runs and seven doubles.

Unfortunately, injury has now sidelined him. Per Jim Goulart of Brewer Fanatic, a non-displaced forearm fracture sustained on January 11, 2026 has him out, and will likely impact his start to spring training, which is just over a month away.
