Gallagher is asymptomatic and will go into quarantine.

Royals catcher Cam Gallagher announced he tested positive for COVID-19.

Gallagher released a statement Saturday saying he is asymptomatic and will go into quarantine.

“To say this caught me by surprise would be an understatement,” said Gallagher. “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.”

The 27-year-old has been training with Kansas City during summer camp, and it has not been announced if other members of the team or staff will quarantine after being around him.
