Maikel Garcia Sitting Out With Hand Injury on Wednesday
Kansas City Royals infielder/outfielder Maikel Garcia (hand) is not in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's contest on the road in Washington against the Nationals, according to MLB.com. Nick Loftin is starting at third base and will bat eighth for KC against Nationals right-hander Zack Littell. It's not a huge surprise that Garcia isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game after he was pulled early on Tuesday with left-hand soreness. For now, fantasy managers should consider the 26-year-old day-to-day until we know more about his condition. His next chance to suit up will come on Thursday in the series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Garcia, who has eligibility at second base, third base, shortstop, and outfield in Yahoo leagues, has been underwhelming so far in 2026 and is currently hitting .259 (9-for-35) with a double, a triple, nine RBI, four runs scored, one steal, four walks, and nine strikeouts in 11 games in June. He's mostly valuable in fantasy for his positional versatility and his speed (he's stolen at least 23 bases in each of the last three years).
