He played Sunday as well as on Monday, when he went 1-for-4 with a double in a 2-1 road win over the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n<p>An All-Star third baseman last season, Garcia has \u200cbeen \u200bfilling in at shortstop for Bobby Witt Jr. (right \u2060knee sprain), who missed his \u2060fourth straight game on Tuesday. Garcia was in pain after fouling a pitch in his first plate appearance on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia was hurt on May 16 in St. Louis while taking a swing, and imaging revealed the strain \u200bin his left hand. He is batting .227 (10-for-44) in June, including 1-for-10 in the past seven days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy last homer was before St. Louis,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cAfter \u2060that, I\u2019m not making damage in the box \u2060and hitting. It\u2019s not an excuse, but I\u2019m not being \u200bmyself. I\u2019m trying to help my team because we\u2019ve been fighting, like all \u200bseason, and I want to be part of winning and bring \u200csomething to the team. Playing like that is hard to do. This game is hard to do (when you) play 100%. So you can imagine playing at 70% is harder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garcia is batting .261 with 17 doubles, three home runs and 30 \u2060RBIs in 69 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>He had a breakout season in 2025, when he batted .286 with career highs of 39 doubles, 16 homers and 74 RBIs in 160 \u2060games.
