Fantasy Impact
After Sunday's loss to Detroit, Garcia is batting .285 with three homers, four steals, 21 runs and 16 RBI through 39 games. He's been caught stealing three times already. The power really hasn't shown for any of the Royals' players like we thought it would, but there is still time for it to turn around.

Fantasy Impact
After Sunday's win over Seattle, Garcia is slashing .270/.333/.429 with three home runs, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases across 31 games. Despite only picking up one hit, he had four balls hit over 95 mph. He continues to make solid contact and keep the strikeouts in check. His pulled air rate is a career high 20%, which should lead to more power.
