Maikel Garcia’s status is still unclear a day after he exited Tuesday’s game against the Nationals with left hand soreness. The Royals’ third baseman wasn’t in the lineup for the series finale against the Nationals on Wednesday, and manager Matt Quatraro said pregame that they’ll likely try to stay away from Garcia for the next couple of days to see if the symptoms resolve.
Garcia said Wednesday that he’s been dealing with this hand soreness for about a month, dating back to the Royals’ series in St. Louis from May 15-17. It happened on a swing in the second game, and since then, the soreness in the muscles on the top of his hand are aggravated when Garcia fouls a ball off or doesn’t make direct contact. Imaging taken shows that the small hand muscles are affected, but no fractured bones
