Freddy Garcia will start tonight against Arizona. He bruised his left shin yesterday running into a maintenance cart at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
That's good news, despite the fact Garcia is 1-2 with a 6.05 ERA in four starts. If couldn't start, the Phillies probably would have had to use the bullpen, something they can ill afford.
Garcia hasn't lasted more than five innings this season. It's unclear if his bruise will prevent him from pitching deep, regardless of how effective he is.
