Impact Garcia sustained the injury in the seventh inning of Saturday's contest while running the bases and was immediately lifted from the contest. At this stage, the 26-year-old appears more likely than not to wind up on the IL, but the Royals are holding out hope that Garcia is dealing with a low-grade strain that may cause him to miss just a few games rather than the full 10 days. The team should have more clarity on his status prior to Monday's series opener in Cincinnati.
