Dobnak’s Rough Day, Garcia Near Return | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals’ bullpen couldn’t bail him out either, coughing up key runs including homers, while the Cubs pounded out 18 hits. Still, there’s reason for hope: Maikel Garcia is nearing a return from injury and could be back by Wednesday. With the team now below .500 and headed to Los Angeles for a tough three-game series against the Dodgers, the Royals need a quick turnaround.
