Garcia (hamstring) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and bat fourth during Saturday's game against the Twins.
Garcia missed six consecutive starts while recovering from a strained right hamstring, but he was able to work as a pinch hitter in both of the Royals' last two games. He's now been cleared to rejoin the starting nine, though the Royals will begin by using him as their DH while Josh Rojas mans the hot corner.
