The Kansas City Royals activated third baseman Maikel Garcia and first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino on Tuesday. To make room on the roster, the team designated veteran outfielder Starling Marte for assignment.
Garcia had been sidelined since June 23, according to the report. His return to the lineup provides a boost to the Royals’ infield. Pasquantino is returning from a two-week stint on the injured list, offering the team another offensive threat.
The decision to designate Marte for assignment comes as the Royals look to evaluate other players and potentially open up roster space for younger talent. The team did not provide specific reasons for the move beyond the need to create space for the returning players. Marte’s departure leaves a void in the outfield, which the Royals will likely address in the coming days.
