Braves place Adonis Garcia on the 10-day disabled list (Achilles)

The Braves will need someone else to help man third base even more than usual, at least for a little while.

Adonis Garcia has been the subject of much debate amongst Braves fans due to the non-exhaustive reasons of his defensive acumen (or lack thereof), platoon splits, and the presence of potentially more exciting options in the farm system or on the roster. Thus far this season, he has slashed .237/.278/.348 while posting a less than good -0.4 fWAR. When the Braves did not start him earlier today against the Blue Jays, a few folks noticed his absence but did not think much about it.
