Promoted from Double-A The Royals recalled Garcia from Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Thursday.

Impact Garcia was one of several minor leaguers called up in advance of Thursday's series opener in Toronto after the Royals placed 10 players on the 26-man active roster on the restricted list in corresponding moves. With those 10 players unavailable for the entire four-game set in Canada due to their vaccination statuses, Garcia should get the chance to make his MLB debut this weekend, but he won't be included in Thursday's lineup. The 22-year-old infielder has slashed .287/.365/.397 with three home runs and 27 stolen bases across 351 plate appearances at the Double-A level this season.

Slated for call-up The Royals plan to call up Garcia on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extrabase reports.

Impact Garcia performed well at Double-A Northwest Arkansas to begin the season, slashing .283/.362/.395 with three homers, 57 runs, 30 RBI and 27 stolen bases. Although he doesn't have experience above the Double-A level, he'll likely have a chance to carve out playing time in the Royals' infield if Whit Merrifield (toe) is forced to miss time.

Impact Garcia will move up a level to begin 2022 after he split time between Low-A Columbia and High-A Quad Cities last season. Over 244 plate appearances for the latter affiliate, the 22-year-old infielder posted a .354 on-base average and went 11-for-14 on stolen-base attempts.

Shielded from Rule 5 draft Garcia was added to Kansas City's 40-man roster Friday.

Impact The 21-year-old shortstop hit .281/.351/.396 with three home runs and 11 steals in 53 games at High-A last season. He is likely a couple years away from the majors, so this is a strong vote of confidence from the Royals.
