Garcia agreed to a deal with the LG Twins of the KBO League in South Korea, Marcos Grunfeld of Sportsvenezuela.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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, but it was apparent that Garcia had lost whatever sort of role he obtained by the end of the season.

Garcia (finger) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Before signing off on Garcia's return to the active roster, the Braves had him play three rehab games in the minors, during which he 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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 Braves' plans, may only pick up a couple starts per week as the season winds down.

Garcia (finger) is expected to join the Braves in a week after completing a brief minor-league rehab assignment, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports,
EDGE Analysis
The plan is for Garcia to take a few days of batting practice in Florida before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, which is expected to take him until the end of the minor-league season. Barring any setbacks during his brief rehab stint, Garcia will be activated shortly after. With Brandon Phillips settled in at the hot corner, Garcia's role once he returns remains up in the air.

Garcia (finger) is expected to go on a rehab assignment next week, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The tentative plan is that Garcia will go on a rehab assignment next week and aim to come off the disabled list early September. However, with Brandon Phillips currently spending time at third base, Garcia could have a hard time finding consistent playing time upon his eventual activation.

Garcia (finger) is still a couple of weeks away from returning from the disabled list, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia went under the knife to help heal his injured left ring finger back in June, and it appears that he's roughly on pace with his original two-month timetable. No word has come forth as to how much he's ramped up his activity level, although things should come clearer as his return date approaches.

Garcia underwent surgery on his injured left ring finger and is expected to miss two months, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Garcia was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with a sprained left index finger, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia was supposed to be available off the bench for Wednesday's contest against the Phillies, but the injury appears to be more serious than originally thought. He'll be eligible to return June 17 if he's ready, while Rio Ruiz should see the majority of reps at third base in Garcia's absence. Lane Adams was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Garcia (hand) is available to pinch hit Wednesday night against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garcia injured a knuckle on his left hand swinging in the ninth inning of Tuesday's game, but it seems like the injury is minor and his absence from Wednesday's contest is precautionary. Of course, his availability heading into Thursday's bout should become clearer as that game's start time approaches, but Rio Ruiz will fill in for him as long as he's out.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
