Garcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.
Garcia will sit out Kansas City's penultimate game of the season after going 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored Friday. Josh Rojas will fill in at third base and bat eighth.

Garcia is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the White Sox.
The Royals have given Garcia one day off per series since he returned from the injured list last week. After reaching base seven times in the first two games of the three-game set, he'll grab a seat during Thursday's matinee. Nick Loftin will play third base in Garcia's stead.

Garcia went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, three RBI and a run in Wednesday's 5-4 win against the White Sox.
The 26-year-old singled home the first two runs of the game in the opening frame and then delivered the go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning with a double off Hagen Smith. Garcia has missed a lot of time in the past three months due to hand and hamstring injuries, and this is the first time he's recorded three or more RBI in a game since June 14, which was a span of just 14 contests. After producing an .800 OPS with 16 homers last season, Garcia has taken a step back when healthy this year with three homers and a .263/.325/.378 slash line in 80 games.

Garcia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
Garcia will take a seat Saturday after going just 1-for-11 with a walk and two RBI in three games since returning from the IL. While he rests, Nick Loftin will start at third base and bat sixth.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Pirates.
Garcia went to the opposite field for a two-RBI double in the third inning, though he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple. It marked the third baseman's first hit since returning from a left hamstring strain, as he's gone 1-for-11 (.091) across three games. Injuries have hampered the 26-year-old all season, and Garcia has struggled to build on his breakout 2025, slashing .262/.318/.378 with three homers, 34 RBI, 34 runs and five stolen bases over 76 contests in 2026.

The Royals reinstated Garcia (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Garcia is ready to rejoin the active roster after missing the past few weeks due to a hamstring strain. The 26-year-old hit the ground running during his three-game rehab assignment, going 4-for-13 (.308 average) with a double and a stolen base. Garcia should reclaim the starting job at third base for Kansas City now that he's healthy.
