Yimi García Undergoes Thoracic Outlet Surgery
Blue Jays reliever Yimi García underwent surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome last week, manager John Schneider told reporters (relayed by Shi Davidi of Sportsnet).

The Nationals are recalling right-hander Luis Perales from Triple-A Rochester, as first reported on X by @saborio30play. Washington optioned righty Jake Bird after tonight’s loss to Colorado.

The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Shane Bieber has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 21, with right teres major inflammation.
