Maikel Garcia Placed on 10-Day Injured List with Hamstring Strain

The Kansas City Royals placed Maikel Garcia on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left hamstring strain. This follows his acquisition by the team in a February trade involving Pete Crow-Armstrong. Garcia's role and performance had been part of the team's ongoing roster evaluation, but he will now be sidelined as the Royals adjust their lineup, which also includes the recent call-up of Matthew Lugo and the return of Jose Cuas.
