Held out again Thursday
Garcia (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins.
Analyse
Garcia has now missed three straight starts with a minor right wrist/hand sprain. The Nationals do not expect him to require a trip to the injured list, but they might have to reevaluate that stance if Garcia is still unable to play this weekend in Miami. Curtis Mead will draw another start at first base Thursday in Garcia's stead.

Remains out of lineup
Garcia (wrist/hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Analyse
Curtis Mead will make a second straight start at first base in place of Garcia, who is considered day-to-day after making an early exit from Sunday's 3-2 win over the Brewers due to a minor right wrist/hand sprain. According to MLB.com, Garcia isn't expected to require a stint on the injured list, though the club's tune could change if he's not able to return to the lineup for the start of the Nationals' weekend series in Miami.

Diagnosed with minor wrist sprain
Garcia has been diagnosed with a minor sprain of his right hand/wrist, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Garcia suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Brewers, forcing his removal. The infielder said Tuesday that he's day-to-day and will not go on the injured list, but he's not in Tuesday's lineup versus the Twins and seems likely to miss additional games. Curtis Mead will receive an uptick in playing time at first base for the Nationals for as long as Garcia is shelved.

Scheduled for MRI
Nationals manager Blake Butera said after Sunday's 3-2 win over the Brewers that Garcia will undergo an MRI on his sore right wrist Monday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Analyse
Garcia went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before he was lifted from Sunday's contest in advance of the sixth inning. The MRI should provide more clarity on the severity of the wrist injury, which Butera said that Garcia sustained while swinging the bat rather than playing the field.

Leaves game with sore wrist
Garcia was removed in the top of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Brewers due to right wrist soreness.
Analyse
Curtis Mead checked into the game at first base in place of Garcia, who went 0-for-2 with a strikeout prior to his exit. The Nationals could have an update on Garcia's condition after the game, but for the time being, he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener versus the Twins.
