Braves' Adonis Garcia (finger) to miss two months following surgery
Atlanta Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia is expected to miss two months after undergoing left ring finger surgery.
What It Means:
Garcia already missed some time this season with an Achilles injury, and now this surgery will likely keep him on the shelf until at least mid-august. Look for Rio Ruiz to continue to be the Braves' every-day starter at third base.
Ruiz has only managed to hit for a .209/.312/.343 slash with a .293 wOBA through 77 plate appearances this season, and numberFire's models don't expect things to get much better, projecting him to hit .213 with 3 home runs and 16 RBI in 181 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
