Yimi García (elbow, neck) will visit a specialist to determine whether he’s dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome.

It’s been a nightmare of a season for the Blue Jays from an injury standpoint with García continuing to experience nerve-related symptoms in his neck. There should be some clarity on his status and next steps in the coming days, but it seems highly unlikely he’ll make it back with roughly two months left in the season.

Yimi García (elbow) has been shut down from throwing after experiencing renewed soreness.

García appeared to be on the precipice of finally rejoining Toronto’s high-leverage mix, but that’s on hold for now. There should be an update on his status at some point later this week. The 35-year-old has been brought along slowly while making his way back from last year’s elbow surgery. At this point it seems unlikely he’ll return until after next month’s All-Star break.

Yimi García (elbow) allowed one run on one hit while walking two on Wednesday for Triple-A Buffalo.

García threw just eight of his 21 pitches for strikes, but he did earn one strikeout. The 35-year-old is continuing to work his way back from elbow surgery and will likely need another couple of appearances at Triple-A before he is ready to return.

Yimi García (elbow) will make another minor league rehab appearance on Wednesday for Triple-A Buffalo.

García has been slowly working his way back from last year’s right elbow procedure and figures to be ready to rejoin Toronto’s relief mix at some point this month. The 35-year-old has made four rehab appearances in the lower minors over the past month.

Blue Jays transferred RHP Yimi García to the 60-day injured list.

It’s a procedural move to free up a spot on Toronto’s 40-man roster. The 35-year-old righty is working his way back from last year’s elbow surgery and won’t be an option until sometime around midseason.

Blue Jays placed RHP Yimi García on the 15-day injured list.

García is making steady progress back from last year’s right elbow ulnar nerve and AC joint surgery but will require additional time to build up his arm strength before returning to Toronto’s high-leverage relief mix.

Yimi García (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Saturday.

It was García’s first time throwing off a mound in Blue Jays camp since undergoing elbow surgery last August. The 35-year-old veteran reliever won’t be ready in time for Opening Day but he’s progressing towards an early-season return to Toronto’s high-leverage mix behind closer Jeff Hoffman and new setup specialist Tyler Rogers.

Yimi García (elbow) won’t be ready for the start of the regular season.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider was hopeful that García might be ready for Opening Day, but that has changed to “100 percent” that he will not be available for the start of 2026. The right-hander will be a high-leverage option in the late innings once available, but for now, there’s an open spot in the Toronto bullpen.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said he’s hopeful Yimi García will be ready for Opening Day following elbow surgery but will be careful with him this spring.

García’s surgery took place in August and was only to clean up scar tissue in his elbow, so it didn’t seem like Opening Day would be in doubt here. Still, bringing him along slowly isn’t a bad idea, as he’s totaled just 60 innings between the last two seasons.
