Jesse Garcia

5/9/2005

Opening a spot on the roster for starting shortstop Khalil Greene, the San Diego Padres have optioned Garica to Triple-A Portland. The infielder helped fill in at short during Greene's absence, but batted just .167 with two home runs and four RBI in 16 games. He struck out 11 times in 36 at-bats.

With Geoff Blum still sidelined, veteran Damian Jackson will serve as Greene's primary backup going forward.
