Kansas City third baseman Maikel Garcia left in the seventh inning against the Texas Rangers with a right hamstring strain sustained Saturday at Arlington, Texas.
The 2025 All-Star was injured going from first to third base on Vinnie Pasquantino's tiebreaking double. Garcia was 1-for-4 with an RBI in the contest, continuing a slow start to his 2026 season. The 26-year-old is batting .268 this year with just three home runs and 21 RBIs, a year after belting 16 homers to go along with 74 RBIs.
Tyler Tolbert pinch-ran following Garcia's departure, and stayed in at second base while Garcia was replaced in the field by Nick Loftin. If Garcia goes to the injured list, Loftin, a four-year veteran, could be in line to get the majority of his time at third base. Loftin is batting .215 this year and .218 for his career.
Kansas City, which has now lost five in a row, led 6-3 entering the bottom of the eighth inning and went on to lose 7-6.
