ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals activated left-handed pitcher Jaime Garcia to start against the Atlanta Braves, yesterday (Sunday). Garcia had surgery for a torn labrum and rotator cuff last May. Sunday was his first appearance in just over a year and the 100th of his career. He is 39-25 with a 3.45 ERA in his career. To make room for Garcia, the Cardinal optioned right-handed reliever Jorge Rondon to Memphis.
