  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Big performance in nightcap

    Garcia went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks, two RBI, two stolen bases and three runs scored in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Garcia rattled off a 14-game hitting streak from May 14-30, but a thumb issue has hampered him slightly to begin June. The utility player went 0-for-5 in the day game, but he was a big performer in the nightcap while snagging a rare start in center field rather than at his usual third base. For the season, he's hitting .311 with an .852 OPS, five home runs, 13 steals on 20 attempts, 29 RBI, 28 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples over 61 contests. Power isn't a huge part of his game, but he's on pace for double-digit homers and can make an impact with speed and by getting on base at a high rate.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Back in Kansas City lineup

    Garcia (thumb) is starting at third base and batting third in Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Garcia had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Tigers due to right thumb soreness, but he's ready to roll after the Royals were idle Monday. It's the first time this season that Garcia has batted third for Kansas City.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Battling thumb issue

    Garcia was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers due to right thumb soreness.

    Garcia was penciled in to make his 46th consecutive start but will instead step out of the starting nine due to the thumb injury. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before Kansas City travels to St. Louis to begin a three-game series Tuesday. Jonathan India replaced Garcia in the lineup Sunday after originally being scheduled for a day off.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Extends hitting streak to 13 games

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with one run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Reds.

    Garcia extended his hitting streak to 13 games, and it was the sixth time during this stretch that he recorded multiple knocks. Over his last 50 at-bats, the speedy infielder is hitting a scorching .380 with one homer, four doubles, eight RBI and six runs scored. Garcia has 10 extra-base hits, 15 RBI, and six stolen bases in the month of May as he's turned himself into a key contributor for Kansas City.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Gets back on track with homer

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Houston.

    It was the 14th multi-hit effort of the season by Garcia, who tallied multiple extra-base hits Wednesday for just the second time this year. The utility man had gone just 1-for-20 in his previous five outings, so it was a strong bounce-back performance as well. Garcia is still trending up overall, as he's batting .323 with three homers, five doubles, nine RBI and seven stolen bases over his last 65 at-bats.

The 25-year-old has been on fire over his last eight games, batting .467 (14-for-30) with six runs scored and five RBI while going a perfect 6-for-6 on the basepaths. Through 136 plate appearances, Garcia is slashing .322/.390/.496 with 15 RBI and runs scored apiece.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Collects three hits

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Garcia singled twice, but his most important hit was a go-ahead two-run double in the fifth inning. It was his first extra-base knock since April 4 and his fourth multi-hit performance of the season. Garcia is now slashing .300/.321/.500 with six extra-base hits and nine RBI through 15 games.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Productive night against O's

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Garcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

    Garcia didn't start Opening Day but had been in the lineup for each of the last four games before beginning this one on the bench. Jonathan India is covering third base for the Royals against Freddy Peralta and the Brewers.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Blasts second homer of season

    Garcia went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over Milwaukee.

    Garcia took a 93 mph fastball from Elvin Rodriguez deep for a 428-foot solo home run to center field in the second inning, and the former drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh frame to bring in another run. Garcia manned third base in his last two outings but got the start in center field Monday, and his utility should allow him to see every day work. He's gone 5-for-13 with two solo home runs through the first four games of the 2025 season.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Garcia is absent from the lineup for Thursday's opener against the Guardians.

    The Royals have Vinnie Pasquantino at designated hitter as he protects a hamstring injury, and the domino effect has Michael Massey at second base, Jonathan India at third base and Garcia on the bench. Garcia should be in the lineup most days once Pasquantino is healthy, but he'll be the odd man out Opening Day.
