The Miami Marlins placed outfielder Avisail Garcia on the 10-day injured list and activated fellow first baseman/designated hitter Garrett Cooper on Wednesday.
Garcia, 31, has a left hamstring strain. Cooper, 31, had been on the IL since July 26 with a right wrist contusion.
Garcia is batting .232 with seven homers and 30 RBIs in 88 games in his first season with Miami. The 2017 All-Star is a career .266 hitter with 134 home runs and 505 RBIs in 1,039 games with five teams.
Cooper was struck in the right wrist by a pitch in a 1-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 23. He made one rehab appearance at Class-A Jupiter and walked, singled and scored a run.
Cooper made the 2022 National League All-Star team and is hitting .279 with seven home runs, 21 doubles and 40 RBIs in 84 games this season. He is a career .281 hitter with 37 homers and 151 RBIs in 323 games with the New York Yankees (2017) and Marlins.
