JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Miami Marlins have announced that outfielder Avisaíl García has been assigned to Jacksonville to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment. García is expected to join the Jumbo Shrimp on Saturday prior to the club's 6:35 p.m. against the Norfolk Tides from 121 Financial Ballpark.

After being signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Anaco, Venezuela by Detroit in 2007, García made his major league debut for the Tigers on August 31, 2012 against the Chicago White Sox.
