Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington reports that Christian Garcia is only dealing with a strained right forearm.

That was the initial diagnosis, but he's now waiting on a second opinion. The injury isn't elbow-related and the Nationals don't believe it's anything serious. Garcia will continue to be rested as a precautionary measure and could return to his throwing program as early as next week.
