Greg Garcia is day-to-day with knee soreness.

Garcia is not in the Cardinals' lineup Tuesday and the discomfort could limit his ability to play shortstop over the next few days or even weeks. Jedd Gyorko is at short for St. Louis on Tuesday night in Milwaukee.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Greg Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.

Garcia homered off recently-acquired starter Andrew Cashner in the third inning. He also struck out twice on the afternoon. The 26-year-old infielder has done a nice when given the opportunity this season and is slashing .296/.423/.435 with seven doubles, three homers and 13 RBI over 115 at-bats.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Greg Garcia homered, drew two walks, and two runs scored Friday against the Nationals.

Garcia, who was called up on Thursday, got the chance to start at third base and hit leadoff with Matt Carpenter away on paternity leave. The 26-year-old has made the most out of his limited opportunities in the majors, but he’ll likely head back down to Triple-A when Carpenter is ready to return.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals recalled INF Greg Garcia from Triple-A Memphis.

Garcia will give the Cardinals infield depth while Matt Carpenter spends the weekend away on paternity leave. Garcia has a cool .811 career OPS in the major leagues and he's 6-for-10 with St. Louis in 2016, but the 26-year-old isn't going to play enough to carry fantasy relevance.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals optioned INF Greg Garcia to Triple-A Memphis.

The move clears room for Ruben Tejada, who will join the Cardinals in a utility-infield role on Monday. Aledmys Diaz should be the primary starter at shortstop. Garcia was 6-for-10 with four walks in two weeks with St. Louis and will probably have a few more stays on the big league bench throughout the course of the summer.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Greg Garcia has been battling a sore knee.

It could affect his claim to a spot on the Opening Day roster. Garcia has been getting some starts at shortstop this spring as the Cardinals try to figure out how to replace Jhonny Peralta (thumb) for what could be the entire first half. The 26-year-old Garcia is probably not going to be fantasy relevant either way.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Greg Garcia collected hits in all three of his at-bats Sunday against the Marlins.

While everyone was focusing on Jedd Gyorko and Aledmys Diaz, Garcia might actually have been the Cardinals' best option to start at shortstop with Jhonny Peralta out. Of course, it's all moot now with Ruben Tejada in camp. Garcia still could help as a utilityman if there's room for him. He hit .294/.391/.364 with 16 steals in Triple-A last year and .240/.337/.387 in 75 at-bats in the majors.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals recalled INF Greg Garcia from Triple-A Memphis.

Garcia has picked up seven hits in 20 at-bats in his brief time in the majors this season. He could be given a start or two soon as the Cards look to rest the struggling Kolten Wong.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals optioned INF Greg Garcia to Triple-A Memphis.

Garcia has picked up seven hits in 20 at-bats in his brief stints with the big club but has found playing time hard to come by. He'll be back in September, if not sooner.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals recalled INF Greg Garcia from Triple-A Memphis.

Garcia has impressed in limited action this season with the Cardinals, but he probably won't ever play enough on the St. Louis infield to carry NL-only fantasy value.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals optioned INF Greg Garcia to Triple-A Memphis.

The 25-year-old has impressed in his limited time with the Cardinals this season, slashing .417/.462/.750 with a homer in 12 at-bats. He'll continue to function as organizational infield depth and should get another opportunity with the Cardinals soon enough.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Greg Garcia delivered a pinch-hit game-tying solo homer Friday against the Cubs.

Garcia took Pedro Strop deep to leadoff the bottom of the eighth inning for his first major league home run. The Cardinals went on to win the game in the 10th inning. Garcia didn't have a home run in 61 games at Triple-A this season, but he was batting .313 with a .405 on-base percentage. He was recently called up to serve as a backup infielder.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals recalled INF Greg Garcia from Triple-A Memphis.

Garcia has hit a nifty .313/.405/.369 at Memphis this season. He should offer the Cards a better utility infielder option with Pete Kozma hitting below .100.

Greg Garcia - 3B - Cardinals

Cardinals optioned INF Greg Garcia to Triple-A Memphis.

Garcia appeared in 14 games with the Cardinals last season and batted .272/.358/.382 with eight home runs and 40 RBI over 106 games in Triple-A. The 25-year-old is capable of playing multiple infield positions and could surface as a bench player again in 2015.
