Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia faces uncertainty after elbow injury setback

Summary

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Yimi Garcia, who has not appeared in the majors this season, experienced worsening symptoms following a recent rehab outing with Single-A Dunedin. He faced issues related to neck nerve pain after pitching one inning on Sunday. Manager John Schneider indicated that Garcia will consult another specialist amid concerns about potential thoracic outlet syndrome. The 11-year veteran was expected to contribute significantly to the Blue Jays' bullpen this season. Given the team's slim playoff chances, it is likely Garcia will be shut down for the remainder of the year.
