Cam Gallagher Stats

The Baltimore Orioles claimed catcher Cam Gallagher off waivers from the San Diego Padres on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. The six-year MLB veteran with the Kansas City Royals last played with the Padres farm system. He'll be Baltimore's third catcher on the 40-man roster behind rookie Adley Rutschmann and Robinson Chirinos. In a corresponding move, the Orioles designated right-hander Rico Garcia for assignment. Gallagher only appeared in 18 games for the Royals earlier this year before joining the Padres, and he went 9-for-42 (.214) with no home runs, five RBI and one run scored. In 16 games at Triple-A El Paso with the Padres, he went 14-for-55 (.255) with a homer, 10 RBI and nine runs scored.

Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's game after battling knee discomfort. The organization is going to take the cautious approach and place Gallagher on the injured list. Salvador Perez (neck) is banged up as well, but continues to play through his issue. Sebastian Rivero should see some playing time in KC while Gallagher is sidelined. Gallagher wasn't a fantasy option when healthy, so fantasy managers can ignore him.

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.
