Maikel Garcia of Kansas City Royals Faces Day-to-Day Status Due to Right Thumb Soreness

Maikel Garcia's thumb soreness might keep him off the field, creating a gap in the Royals' lineup. Garcia has been hitting .316 this season, providing solid contributions with 66 hits and 25 RBIs. His recent form shows a .417 average over the last three games, highlighting his role in the team's offense.

With Garcia's potential absence, Jonathan India may fill in at third base, as indicated by the depth chart. The Royals are set to face the Detroit Tigers at home next, where Garcia's performance has been slightly lower than his away stats, with a .280 average. However, his absence may still affect the lineup's depth and flexibility against the Tigers.
