Royals’ Maikel Garcia likely headed back to the IL with hamstring strain
Kansas City Royals' third baseman Maikel Garcia is set to return to the injured list just three days after his brief stint back. The player strained his left hamstring during the Royals' 6-2 win over the Athletics on Thursday. Garcia's injury came just a few hours after rounding third base on Salvador Perez's grounder, which resulted in an error.
Royals manager Matt Quatraro confirmed that the MRI results suggest Garcia will be placed back on the injured list tomorrow. This setback is particularly disappointing for Garcia, who had already returned from a two-month absence due to a left hand muscle strain on June 23. Teammate Bobby Witt Jr. expressed his sympathy, stating that they all hope Garcia recovers quickly, considering his recent return from a prolonged injury.
