Adonis Garcia News
The Atlanta Braves released third baseman Adonis Garcia so that he can purse an opportunity in the Korean League in 2018. In his three seasons in Atlanta, Garcia had a slash line of .267/.300/.414 with 29 home runs and 110 RBI over 244 games. In his absence next season, expect some combination of Rio Ruiz and Johan Camargo to man the hot corner.
Atlanta Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia is signing an undisclosed deal with the LG Twins of the Korean Baseball League, according to a source. He managed to hit .267/.300/.414 in three seasons with Atlanta in 944 plate appearances, but he played in only 52 games in 2017 with a finger injury and hit just .237 with five home runs and 19 RBI. With Garcia out of the picture, Johan Camargo and Rio Ruiz could both split time at the hot corner with the Braves looking to get younger as they rebuild.
Braves' infielders Johan Camargo and Adonis Garcia may return from the disabled list as early as September 5th. Both could begin rehab assignments in the minor leagues next before a return to expanded rosters. Garcia's role remains unclear given his underwhelming performance and extended injuries this season. Camargo, however, was a key piece for Atlanta over the summer and may move Brandon Phillips out from his third base role.
