He's back a little too late.

Garcia returns to the Reds' catching mix for their final two games of the season after landing on the injured list back in early July due to a fractured left middle finger. 

The twenty-nine-year-old has slashed just .217/.252/.264, with one home run, four RBIs, and six runs scored in his first 113 plate appearances with the Reds. 

Garcia is a former second-round pick (52nd-overall) by the San Francisco Giants in the 2014 MLB Draft.
