Avisail Garcia Placed On Injured List
5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays placed outfielder Avisail Garcia (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with right oblique tightness and recalled pitcher Jose De Leon from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Garcia is hoping to return to the lineup in 10 days, but oblique injuries can often linger. He won't take any swings the next five days and then slowly ramp up his work in the cages. The 28-year-old is hitting .278/.335/.459 with 17 home runs, 49 runs, 57 RBI and nine stolen bases and is a stash candidate in all leagues. Guillermo Heredia may see some more playing time as a reserve outfielder with Garcia on the shelf.
