Garcia returns, may split time with Ruiz

CINCINNATI -- The Braves have not yet determined exactly how they will split time between Adonis Garcia and Rio Ruiz at third base. But Garcia's return from the disabled list gave them yet another chance to tinker with the makeup of a bench that no longer includes Jace Peterson or Emilio Bonifacio.

Before Friday night's series opener in Cincinnati, the Braves made a flurry of roster moves, which included Peterson being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett and Bonifacio being designated for assignment. The vacated roster spots were filled by Garcia, who had spent the past two weeks on the DL with left Achilles tendinitis, and Johan Camargo, who was recalled from Gwinnett.
