A versatile infielder from the Dominican Republic, García was claimed off waivers from the Angels during the 2021 spring camp. His only previous big league experience was with the Cubs in 2019 where he batted .208 with five homers in 31 games. He had 27 round-trippers in the minors that same year.

A switch-hitter, García can play first, second or third base and has been getting practice in left field as well. He made Houston's opening roster as a utility player.
