Adonis Garcia: Heading overseas
Adonis Garcia agreed to a deal with the LG Twins of the KBO League in South Korea, Marcos Grunfeld of Sportsvenezuela.com reports.Garcia will look for success overseas after spending the last three years playing at the major-league level with the Braves. Following a solid 2016 campaign, the third baseman missed a bunch of time this past year due to a finger injury that required surgery, and also an Achilles tendon ailment that kept him out for a couple weeks. All in all, the 32-year-old slashed .237/.273/.347 with five home runs and 19 RBI, and it was apparent that Garcia had lost whatever sort of role he obtained by the end of the season.

Braves' Adonis Garcia: Officially reinstated from DL
Adonis Garcia (finger) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Monday.Before signing off on Garcia's return to the active roster, the Atlanta Braves had him play three rehab games in the minors, during which he went 1-for-10. Garcia opened the season in an everyday role for the Braves at third base, but since the 31-year-old isn't expected to factor into the club's long-term plans, he may end up being third in the pecking order at the hot corner behind Johan Camargo (knee), who could also be activated from the DL on Monday, and Rio Ruiz.

Braves' Adonis Garcia: Returns from DL
Adonis Garcia (finger) will be activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Monday's game against the Rangers, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.Along with Garcia, fellow infielders Johan Camargo (knee) and Danny Santana (quadriceps) will come off the DL for the series opener, with Camargo's return in particular serving as the biggest hindrance toward Garcia gaining fantasy value in September. It's expected that Camargo, who was enjoying a productive rookie season prior to being shut down for the last month with the injury, will take over as the everyday third baseman, rounding out an infield that includes three other foundational pieces in Freddie Freeman, Ozzie Albies and Dansby Swanson. With that in mind, Garcia, a 31-year-old with no long-term place in the Atlanta Braves' plans, may only pick up a couple starts per week as the season winds down.

Braves' Adonis Garcia: Faces two-month absence following surgery
Adonis Garcia underwent surgery on his injured left ring finger and is expected to miss two months, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.Garcia's injury continues to escalate in severity, as he was once thought to be close to avoiding a DL stint. Hopefully this reduces the chance of injury moving forward by nipping the ailment in the bud right now. This will knock him out until mid-August at the earliest, although more details on his return date should come forth as he ramps up his activity over the course of the summer. Rio Ruiz will likely pick up primary third baseman duties while Garcia is sidelined.

Braves' Adonis Garcia: Sidelined with apparent wrist issue
Adonis Garcia reportedly tweaked his left hand and wrist swinging in the ninth inning Tuesday night and was seen wearing a protective sleeve over the inflicted area Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.The severity of the injury is unknown as of now, but this likely explains why Garcia is sitting out for the second time in three games. He may just need a few days of rest prior to returning to the hot corner, but while he's sidelined, look for Rio Ruiz to fill in for him. Garcia should be considered day-to-day for the time being.
