Adonis Garcia Fantasy Stats

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.

The Atlanta Braves will be looking to young third baseman Rio Ruiz as Adonis Garcia is expected to miss at least two months of the season. Garcia will be recovering from surgery on his left ring finger only a couple games back from a previous sting on the disabled list. Ruiz is expected to be the full-time starter, though his recent struggles with the bat will likely result in increased playing time for Johan Camargo. Neither Ruiz nor Camargo are intriguing fantasy options outside of NL-only leagues, especially since they'll be sharing time at the hot corner.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia will go on the 10-day disabled list with a sprained left middle finger. It was first reported that Garcia felt some discomfort in his right knuckle when he took a swing in the ninth inning last night and that he was available to pinch hit tonight. However, the Braves opted to place Garcia on the 10-day DL, and Lane Adams was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Garcia only has a .633 OPS this season and will be replaced by Rio Ruiz in the lineup tonight. Neither should be owned in mixed leagues.

Atlanta Braves infielder Johan Camargo will make his third start of the season as shortstop Dansby Swanson receives a day of rest to start the new series. Camargo has immediately gained traction within the lineup since being recalled last week. His first two stints this season were generally unsuccessful, but three runs in yesterday's game offer promise. To his right, Rio Ruiz is retaking the hot corner with third baseman Adonis Garcia exiting the lineup. Ruiz is in the midst of an eight-game slump where he's hitting only .136. The two young bats appear to have a favorable matchup with Phillies starter Nick Pivetta, but neither has proven to be a reliable option to this point.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia will immediately find the field Friday, as he is starting at third base this evening. Garcia was activated from the disabled list as the Braves made a swarm of roster moves -- activated reliever Eric O'Flaherty, recalled Johan Camargo). The veteran struggled in the early season with a lowly .237 average through 34 games. Young third baseman Rio Ruiz flashed extreme potential with the bat, but recent struggles in the field and at the plate have resulted in Garcia taking the starting position.

Both Atlanta Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia and Eric O'Flaherty are expected to come off the disabled list on Friday. Atlanta will be starting a new series in Cincinnati and will look for new depth to their lineup, as the team has dropped six of the past eight games. Garcia has appeared in five games with Triple-A Gwinnett where he hit .400 with a trio of doubles. His return will cast a shadow of uncertainty over young third baseman Rio Ruiz, who has slid in production over the past week. O'Flaherty appeared in two games with Gwinnett with mixed results. His first outing went smoothly, but he recorded only one out and allowed five base runners in his final chance. The veteran was a regular part of the bullpen with 18 appearances prior to the injury.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia is scheduled for activation from the disabled list early next week following a weekend rehab stint at Triple-A Gwinnett. Garcia was placed on the DL a little over a week ago with left Achilles tendinitis. His recovery has gone well and he was seen running and fielding grounders at Sun Trust Park prior to Wednesday's game. Garcia had been struggling before the injury with a .210 average prior to being deactivated. Infielder Rio Ruiz has played well in his absence with five hits in five games after becoming the regular starter. Ruiz will likely be designated for assignment following Garcia's return but should see another promotion later in the season.

Johan Camargo is missing from the starting lineup for Triple-A Gwinnett's early game today. He is expected to be the replacement for third baseman Adonis Garcia, who landed on the 10-day disabled list after last night's game. Camargo has been a steady contributor for the Triple-A squad with a .307/.340/.466 line, 15 RBI, and 10 runs scored. His primary value will come on the defensive end as a utility defender. Second baseman Jace Peterson is likely to take over the starting role with Camargo rotating into the position if necessary. The young infielder appeared in five games earlier this season, recording one hit in four at-bats.
