The Royals announced that right-handed pitcher Brad Keller and first baseman Ryan O’Hearn have tested positive for the coronavirus, after receiving permission to disclose that information from both players. Keller said he has had minor symptoms that remind him of an allergy attack, but otherwise feels great. O’Hearn has been asymptomatic and said he feels fine. Both players will quarantine and will need two negative tests, have no fever for 72 hours, and be cleared by a doctor before they rejoin the team.
Keller was sent home after a second test confirmed his positive result.
