Royals' Maikel Garcia: Not swinging yet
Garcia (hand) is rehabbing in Kansas City but has yet to resume swinging a bat, and he'll be re-evaluated during the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
Garcia hit the shelf June 23 due to a nagging muscle strain in his left hand that required extended rest to heal. The extent of his current rehab regimen remains unclear, and a clearer picture of the third baseman's timeline is likely to come following his re-evaluation. Before landing on the injured list, Garcia was slashing .261/.320/.373 with 22 extra-base hits (three homers), 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

Royals' Maikel Garcia: Out with hand injury
The Royals placed Garcia on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hand muscle strain.
The 26-year-old returned to the lineup the past two days after missing three games due to left hand soreness, but he apparently aggravated the injury and will now require a stint on the injured list. Garcia will be eligible to be reinstated in early July, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Nick Loftin has started the past five games at the hot corner -- Garcia filled in for Bobby Witt (knee) at shortstop Sunday and Monday -- and should continue to operate as Kansas City's primary third baseman while Garcia is on the shelf.

Royals' Maikel Garcia: Back in lineup Sunday
Garcia (hand) will start at shortstop and bat second in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
A left hand strain had kept Garcia out of the lineup for the Royals' previous three games, but the extra rest plus a team off day Saturday appears to have provided enough time for him to move past the issue. Though he had made all of his starts to date at third base or designated hitter, Garcia will cover shortstop Sunday while Bobby Witt (knee) misses a second straight game.

Royals' Maikel Garcia: On bench again Friday
Garcia (hand) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
It's the third straight game on the bench for Garcia as he continues to manage soreness in his left hand. The 26-year-old departed Tuesday's matchup with the Nationals due to the injury, but it's actually a nagging issue that he's been dealing with throughout the past month. Nick Loftin is picking up another start at third base Friday.

Garcia will miss a second straight start due to left hand soreness. The injury forced Garcia from Tuesday's game against the Nationals, but it's something he's dealt with off-and-on for the past month. Consider him day-to-day. Nick Loftin will get another start at third base in Garcia's stead.

Royals' Maikel Garcia: Not starting due to hand injury
Garcia (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Garcia will miss out on at least one start after he exited Tuesday's 6-4 loss after five innings due to soreness in his left hand. Though Garcia looked to have suffered the injury during a swing on his final at-bat of the evening, he told Anne Rogers of MLB.com on Wednesday that the hand has been a recurring issue since the Royals' series with the Cardinals a month ago. Garcia noted that he typically feels pain only when he hits foul balls rather than making direct contact, and the expectation is that he'll continue to play through the lingering discomfort. Nick Loftin will draw the start at third base in place of Garcia in the series finale in Washington and will bat eighth.
