24 Avisail Garcia RF

Garcia is not starting Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Garcia sits despite a three-hit performance in Monday's victory. Brandon Lowe moves out to right field, with Daniel Robertson playing second base.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with a homer, a walk, three runs and three RBI in Monday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Garcia singled and scored in the second, hit an RBI single in the third and walked and scored in the seventh. He added two more unnecessary insurance runs in the eighth with a two-run shot, his fifth of the season, off catcher John Ryan Murphy. Garcia is riding a seven-game hitting streak, hitting .407 with a 1.096 OPS over that stretch.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Guillermo Heredia will get the start in right field in Game 2 after Garcia went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the first game of Wednesday's twin bill.

Garcia will start in right field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Royals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Garcia had batted either fourth or fifth in his last six starts heading into the week before dropping to the No. 6 spot in Monday's series opener. He may regularly find himself in that lineup slot against right-handed pitching moving forward, as the Rays' decision to call up first baseman Nate Lowe will push Garcia down for the second straight day. Garcia's placement in the batting order should only have a mild impact from a fantasy perspective, as his mounting strikeout totals are instead a greater concern. Over his last 11 games, Garcia has hit just .143 while striking out in 37.8 percent of his plate appearances.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.

That's now three homers in five games for Garcia, and all four of his long balls this season have come in his last 10 contests -- a stretch during which he's hitting .375 (15-for-40) with nine RBI. The 27-year-old should remain a fixture in the Rays' lineup as long as he's hot and healthy, the latter in particular being something he's struggled with in his career.
