Garcia was 0-1 with a 1.80 ERA in four minor-league starts with Charlotte. He made two starts for the New York Mets' Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo earlier in the year, going 0-2 with an 8.18 earned-run average before being released.

The 10-year vet has spent parts of three seasons with the White Sox. His most recent was in 2006 when he went 17-9 with 4.53 ERA.
