Garcia was removed from Tuesday's game against the Nationals with an apparent hand injury, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports. Garcia's hand looked to be bothering him during his final plate appearance in the fourth inning, and the Royals eventually pulled him for a pinch hitter in the sixth. The severity of his injury is unknown, but the Royals should provide more information after the game.

Drives in three, swipes fifth bag
Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over Houston. Garcia got the Royals on the board early with an RBI single in the first inning before delivering a two-run double in the third. He also stole his fifth base of the season in the opening frame. The infielder has been productive of late, driving in eight runs over his last 10 games. On the season, Garcia is slashing .268/.326/.382 with three home runs, 16 doubles, two triples, 28 RBI and 32 runs scored across 279 plate appearances.
Exiting starting lineup
Garcia is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rangers. Garcia returned from a hamstring injury to start each of the previous four contests, but he'll grab a seat during Thursday's matinee. Nick Loftin will cover third base for the Royals.
