Didn’t Seager have surgery also.

Yes, he had sports hernia surgery about a month ago.

Jeff Wilson says the Garcia injury occurred in the second to last game of the season. In other words, his struggles throughout the season are not related.

No disrespect but that seems far fetched unless he struggled with a separate injury

I think he struggled, period. Well, except for the first month.

The Dodgers latest roster addition, Ben Casperius, is another success story this year after going to Tread Athletics prior to this season. He started off this year in AA.

From Jeff Wilson:

After a terrific opening month, Garcia struggled for the rest of 2024 until the final few weeks. He was injured in the second-to-last game of the season while trying to leg out an infield hit.

Garcia will be in the second year of the deal he signed last winter that narrowly avoided an arbitration hearing. After making $4.75 million in 2024, he is owed $9.25 million in 2025.

The key for Garcia is shortening his swing and regaining the swing velocity he lost from 2023 to 2024.

If Garcia had any other injuries hampering him this season, then they are not getting addressed.

I think his biggest problem is with Father Time.
