Maikel Garcia delivers in Royals' high-scoring loss

Maikel Garcia went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in the Royals' 11-8 defeat to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's loss, Garcia's contributions at the plate were notable, adding a pair of hits to maintain his batting average. With a season batting average now holding at .268 and a modest uptick in his run production, Garcia continues to be a steady, if not spectacular, option in fantasy lineups. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, including runs and RBI, coupled with his 13 stolen bases, makes him a valuable asset in deeper leagues or as a utility player in standard formats. However, his low walk rate and moderate strikeout rate suggest limited upside in terms of on-base prowess.
