Taking Gyorko's spot on the active roster is rookie outfielder Adolis García, who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis.
García, 25, is batting .256 with 22 homers, 71 RBIs, 25 doubles and 10 stolen bases in 112 games at Memphis. He made his major league debut Aug. 8 in Miami and went 1-for-11 in five games overall with two outfield starts.
