Not in Thursday's lineup
Garcia is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in St. Louis.
Analysis
Garcia started the first two games for the Pirates upon his promotion, going 3-for-9 with a 0:3 BB:K, but he'll grab a seat in Thursday's series finale. Jake Mangum will handle right field for Pittsburgh.

First career RBI
Garcia went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Cardinals.
Analysis
Garcia has started both games since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, and he looks to have the inside track to a starting job in right field while Ryan O'Hearn (quadricep) is sidelined. Garcia recorded the first RBI of his career with a single in the fourth inning of Wednesday's game to give Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead. He has gone 3-for-9 with three strikeouts in his two starts this season.

Recalled, batting sixth Tuesday
The Pirates recalled Garcia from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Analysis
The move was reported Monday and has now been made official. Garcia is starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday in St. Louis in what will be his team debut. He was acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Johan Oviedo trade and has slashed .205/.256/.356 with three home runs in 19 games this season with Indianapolis.
