Maikel Garcia had been sidelined since June 23 with a left-hand muscle strain and missed 46 games; he had hit .261 with three home runs and 30 RBIs in 268 at-bats.

Vinnie Pasquantino returned from his second injured-list stint of the season after right wrist soreness kept him out since July 28; he is hitting .232 with six home runs and 33 RBIs in 79 games.

Both players were slated to start Monday’s game against the Athletics after completing their rehab assignments.
