Cam Gallagher Stats

Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher (concussion) has been placed on the seven-day concussion injured list, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Gallagher landed on the injured list Monday after being hit in the mask by a couple of hard-hit foul balls in Sunday's game. To replace him on the roster, the Royals recalled catcher Sebastian Rivero. Gallagher has appeared in just nine games this season backing up Salvador Perez, and he has not looked impressive in limited time as he is slashing .111/.105/.167.

The Kansas City Royals announced on Saturday that catcher Cam Gallagher has tested positive for COVID-19. Gallagher isn't showing any symptoms, but he'll need two negative tests in order to return to the team. The backstop hit a home run in the intrasquad game on Friday night. This is especially troubling for the Royals with Salvador Perez and Meibrys Viloria also out for the time being. Nick Dini, Freddy Fermin, Oscar Hernandez, MJ Melendez and Sebastian Rivera are the options not on the 40-man roster. Gallagher, 27, played in 45 games in 2019 and hit just .238 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 142 plate appearances. With Perez expected to see most of the starts this year, Gallagher is an afterthought.
