Maikel Garcia Remains Sidelined With Hamstring Injury on Wednesday
Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia (hamstring) is missing another game on Wednesday in Cincinnati against the Reds, per MLB.com. Nick Loftin will make another start at the hot corner and will bat eighth for the Royals against Reds right-hander Chase Burns. Garcia will miss a fourth straight game with a right-hamstring injury, and if he misses any more time going into the latter part of the week, the Royals could be forced to send him to the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old Venezuelan infielder is currently hitting .268/.325/.384 on the season with a .709 OPS, only three home runs, 21 RBI, 28 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 224 at-bats across 56 games in his fifth year in the big leagues. Garcia was a first-time All-Star in 2025, when he set career highs in homers (16) and RBI (74) while also adding 23 stolen bases and 81 runs scored in 160 games played. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Thursday to see if he's available to face the division-rival Minnesota Twins for the series opener on the road.
