Maikel Garcia Back In Lineup Against Mariners
1 year agoKansas City Royals rookie infielder Maikel Garcia (upper body) is starting at third base and batting leadoff on Monday against the visiting Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. Garcia is feeling good enough to play on Monday after missing the team's last two games over the weekend. After playing in just nine games in his rookie campaign in 2022, Garcia has seen more run with the rebuilding Royals in 2023. And in 84 games (349 plate appearances), he's held his own, hitting .286/.330/.384 with four home runs, 15 doubles, 38 RBI, 18 stolen bases and 40 runs scored. The 23-year-old won't give fantasy managers much pop, but he's worth rostering in deep-mixed leagues for his speed atop KC's order.
