Latest Injury Status
10-day IL
IL10

After missing nearly two months with a hand injury, Garcia played four games with Kansas City this week only to injure his hamstring running the bases Thursday against the Athletics. It's shaping up as somewhat of a lost season for the 26-year-old, who has appeared in just 73 of 129 games and will miss several more. Nick Loftin figures to get most of the starts at third base for the Royals while Garcia is out.
