Garcia will visit Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday for a second opinion on his shoulder injury, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.

Analysis:

Garcia had an MRI in St. Louis on Monday, but he and the Cardinals wish to seek the advice of the heralded Dr. James Andrews before coming together to make an official diagnosis. Garcia began experiencing shoulder soreness during his bullpen sessions last week, and was immediately shut down pending a diagnosis of the potential cause. The setback makes it almost certain that Garcia will be unavailable for Opening Day, but Wednesday's consultation should provide a clearer timetable for how much time the 27-year-old will have to miss.
