<p><strong>Lincoln, Nebraska- </strong></p>
<p>The Lincoln Saltdogs’ and second year field manager, James Frisbie, have officially signed their first members of the 2027 roster. Middle infielder Edwin Garcia is set to make his Saltdogs debut after spending 2026 on the visa reserve list. 24-year-old middle infielder Yiddi Cappe is set to make his Saltdogs and American Association debut in May.</p>
<p>Garcia is a 6’1” 185-pound infielder.  The 35-year-old right-handed hitter is no stranger to professional baseball.  The native of Venezuela has played in over 1,600 professional games ranging from Low-A to Triple-A.   Garcia broke into professional baseball in 2008 in the Texas Rangers organization and topped out with the Round Rock Express in 2015 and 2016.  Since 2019, Garcia has played for multiple teams in the Venezuelan and Mexican Leagues.  A lifetime .270 hitter, Garcia has accumulated 1,541 hits and 569 runs batted in, over 18 seasons. He didn’t play in 2026, remaining on the Saltdogs’ visa reserve list for the entire summer.</p>
<p>In 2019, Garcia put up his best numbers, playing 136 games for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, while batting .269 and drove in 52 runs.</p>
<p>Cappe is 6’3” 195-pound infielder. The 24-year-old Cuban native started his professional career in 2021 in the Marlin’s organization, playing in the Dominican Summer League. Cappe spent the next 5 seasons moving between Low-A and Double-A with the Marlins. In 2026, he earned a roster spot on Cuba’s World Baseball Classic team.</p>
<p>2023 was Cappe’s most productive season, playing in 123 games, while driving in 53 runs and recording 112 hits, finishing the season with a .220 batting average.</p>
<p>The Saltdogs open their 2027 season on May 7 in Fargo, North Dakota for a matchup with the Redhawks. The Saltdogs return to Haymarket Park for their 2027 home opener on May 11, in a matchup with the Sioux Falls Canaries. First Pitch is scheduled for 6:35pm.
