Garcia Exits Royals Game with Left Hamstring Injury

On Thursday, Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia strained his left hamstring during the first inning of the team's 6-2 victory over the Athletics.
Garcia had returned to the lineup just three days earlier, ending a nearly two-month absence following an injured list stint for a left hand muscle strain beginning June 23.
John Rave replaced Garcia in the second inning, shifting to right field while Nick Loftin moved to third base. Garcia had contributed 5 hits and 2 RBI through the first three games of the series.
Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Garcia underwent an MRI and is likely to return to the injured list, calling it a "Really tough break" for the player.
Teammate Bobby Witt Jr., who homered and scored three runs, added, "Anytime a guy's just coming back from an injury we hate to see that," expressing frustration over Garcia's setback.
