Maikel Garcia expected back on Royals injured list with hamstring strain
Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia is expected to return to the injured list after sustaining a left hamstring strain. The injury occurred during the first inning of a game against the Athletics.
Garcia had only recently returned to the lineup on Monday following a nearly two-month absence caused by a left hand muscle strain. Manager Matt Quatraro confirmed that an MRI was conducted and indicated that Garcia would likely be placed on the injured list.
Teammate Bobby Witt Jr. expressed disappointment regarding the setback, noting the difficulty of returning from injury only to face another immediate issue.
