On concussion IL Garcia (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday.
Impact Garcia hasn't seen the field since Thursday's "Field of Dreams" game and will be sidelined for at least a few more games due to the concussion. The 30-year-old's playing time was already decreasing with Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert back from long absences, limiting him to a bench role. Danny Mendick was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.
