Fantasy Impact:

X-rays turned up negative for the White Sox utility-man, which is good news. He could be activated as soon as he's eligible to return. Tim Anderson was activated in a corresponding move. Garcia was off to a solid start this season with a .271/.317/.441 batting line with three home runs and eight RBI.
