Not swinging yet Garcia (hand) is rehabbing in Kansas City but has yet to resume swinging and will be re-evaluated during the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

Impact Garcia hit the shelf June 23 due to a nagging muscle strain in his left hand that requires extended rest to heal. The extent of his current rehab regimen remains unclear, though he has yet to resume swinging a bat, and a clearer picture of the third baseman's timeline is likely to come following his re-evaluation over the All-Star break. Before landing on the injured list, Garcia slashed .261/.320/.373 with 22 extra-base hits (three homers), 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

Out with hand injury The Royals placed Garcia on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hand muscle strain.

Impact The 26-year-old returned to the lineup the past two days after missing three games due to left hand soreness, but he apparently aggravated the injury and will now require a stint on the injured list. Garcia will be eligible to be reinstated in early July, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Nick Loftin has started the past five games at the hot corner -- Garcia filled in for Bobby Witt (knee) at shortstop Sunday and Monday -- and should continue to operate as Kansas City's primary third baseman while Garcia is on the shelf.

Back in lineup Sunday Garcia (hand) will start at shortstop and bat second in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact A left hand strain had kept Garcia out of the lineup for the Royals' previous three games, but the extra rest plus a team off day Saturday appears to have provided enough time for him to move past the issue. Though he had made all of his starts to date at third base or designated hitter, Garcia will cover shortstop in the series finale while Bobby Witt (knee) misses a second straight game.

On bench again Friday Garcia (hand) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact It's the third straight game on the bench for Garcia as he continues to manage soreness in his left hand. The 26-year-old departed Tuesday's matchup with the Nationals due to the injury, but it's actually a nagging issue that he's been dealing with throughout the past month. Nick Loftin is picking up another start at third base Friday.

Remains out of lineup Garcia (hand) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cardinals.

Impact Garcia will miss a second straight start due to left hand soreness. The injury forced Garcia from Tuesday's game against the Nationals, but it's something he's dealt with off-and-on for the past month. Consider him day-to-day. Nick Loftin will get another start at third base in Garcia's stead.

Not starting due to hand injury Garcia (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Garcia will miss out on at least one start after he exited Tuesday's 6-4 loss after five innings due to soreness in his left hand, which appeared to be bothering him on a swing in his final at-bat of the evening, per Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star. Nick Loftin will draw the start at third base in place of Garcia in the series finale in Washington and will bat eighth.
