Garcia got out to a great start to her career, especially as a defender. She was hitting .333 with two doubles, a triple, two home runs and nine RBIs before the injury.
The Bruins have depth among the infield but haven’t found a true solution at shortstop the past week. Kaniya Bragg, Seneca Curo and Savannah Pola have all played the position since Garcia’s injury.
