Garcia was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
Garcia will be sent down to the minors to fine-tune his mechanics after his recent ugly stretch of relief appearances. Garcia posted a brilliant 1.09 ERA over his first 33 innings this season but has been bludgeoned to the tune of a 10.50 ERA over his last 18 innings. Drew Rucinski has been called up to take his place in the bullpen.
