The Blue Jays announced that Garcia threw a bullpen session on Friday in Toronto which went very well and he is expected to throw another bullpen sometime in the coming days.

Yimi Garcia threw a bullpen yesterday. Will get 1 more, and then #BlueJays will decide if he needs a rehab assignment or if he'll just rejoin Toronto post AS break.
This is great news for the Blue Jays as getting Garcia bad would help the bullpen big time who lost two pitchers in a matter of hours earlier this week and are currently struggling.
Garcia has had a solid season so far as he currently has a 3.86 ERA on the year in 21 innings pitched with 25 strikeouts and a 1.19 WHIP to go along with 3 saves.
The Blue Jays did just call up Tommy Nance but getting a solid arm like Garcia back in the mix will only help.
