Maikel Garcia went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases in the Royals' 6-1 win over the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and no strikeouts, contributing significantly to the team's victory. Garcia's ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities was on full display, enhancing his value in categories like runs and stolen bases. With a season batting average of .239 and an increasing stolen base count now at 32, Garcia remains a viable fantasy option, particularly for those in need of speed. His consistent playtime, evidenced by his participation in 129 games, assures fantasy managers of his regular appearances, though his moderate strikeout rate and lower wOBA suggest room for improvement in power and on-base metrics.
