Garcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.
Garcia set the tone with a leadoff double in the first inning and later came around to score on a wild pitch, sparking what became his first three-hit performance since Aug. 10. While he's had a quieter September with a .620 OPS over 20 games, the third baseman's 2025 campaign as a whole has been a breakout. Through 155 contests, he owns an .809 OPS with 38 doubles, five triples, 16 homers, 72 RBI and 23 stolen bases, ranking second among Royals regulars in OPS behind only Bobby Witt.
Garcia went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday in a 2-1 win against the Twins.
Garcia smacked homer No. 16 on the year, and he registered his first hits of the month of September. While the speedy infielder had been more of a steals specialist for fantasy managers in past seasons, he's bloomed into a five-category contributor in 2025. Through 577 plate appearances, Garcia is slashing .294/.357/.472 with 55 extra-base hits, 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and 22 stolen bases.
Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Tigers.
Garcia provided insurance in the seventh inning with a solo homer off Brenan Hanifee, his 13th long ball of the year, to push the Royals' lead to three runs. The third baseman has been swinging a hot bat lately, notching multi-hit efforts in three of his past seven games and eight times in 22 contests this month. With Sunday's production, the 25-year-old is now batting .300 on the season with 32 doubles, five triples, 13 homers, 58 RBI, 22 steals and an .832 OPS across 129 games.
