Maikel Garcia Still Bothered by Hamstring Injury
Kansas City Royals infielder/outfielder Maikel Garcia (hamstring) remains sidelined for Tuesday's contest on the road in Cincinnati against the Reds, according to MLB.com. Nick Loftin is making the start at the hot corner for KC and will bat sixth against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. Garcia is dealing with a strained right hamstring and will be missing his third straight game. Fantasy managers will want to check back in on Wednesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action. If Garcia cannot get back into the starting nine by the end of the week, it's a good bet that he'll be placed on the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old Venezuelan infielder hasn't shown much power in 2026 after clubbing a career-best 16 round-trippers in 160 games in 2025 in his first All-Star season. So far, Garcia is batting .268 (60-for-224) with only three homers, 21 RBI, 28 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 56 games. His power/speed upside remains intriguing in all fantasy formats, though, so Garcia should be stashed everywhere if he does go on the IL. He's rostered in over 90% of Yahoo leagues.
