The Kansas City Royals announced Saturday that catcher Cam Gallagher tested positive for COVID-19 following an intrasquad game Friday during team summer camp.
Gallagher gave a statement as part of the announcement:
"To say this caught me by surprise would be an understatement. I played in last night's intrasquad game and felt great, then received the news this morning that my most recent test had come back positive. I am asymptomatic and will continue to work as hard as I can to stay ready while I quarantine. The first couple of weeks of workouts have just made me that much more excited about our ballclub and I can't wait to rejoin them and compete as soon as I'm allowed.
