Tweaks hamstring Sunday Gallagher was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring after exiting Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Gallagher went 1-for-1 with an RBI single before departing the game in the bottom of the fourth inning following his second plate appearance, when he appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out a sacrifice hit. Though the Royals are labeling Gallagher as day-to-day, there's a good chance that he lands on the 10-day injured list.

Impact Making a start at catcher while No. 1 backstop Salvador Perez serves as the designated hitter, Gallagher could't make it through half of the game before he was forced to exit. He looked to be grabbing at his hamstring while he ran out a sacrifice bunt in the fourth inning, with Gallagher checking out of the contest for a pinch runner upon reaching base. The Royals will re-evaluate Gallagher after Sunday's contest, but if he's in any danger of landing on the injured list, expect Kansas City to call up another catcher from the minors.

Picks up first start Gallagher will start at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals.
Impact The Royals will give top backstop Salvador Perez a day out of the field and deploy him at designated hitter, opening up catching duties for Gallagher for the first time all season. Perez is expected to handle one of the bigger workloads among all No. 1 catchers this season, so Gallagher may struggle to get more than one start even in seven-game weeks when Perez is healthy.

Agrees to terms Gallagher signed a one-year, $885,000 contract with the Royals on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gallagher will get a modest raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility. He didn't have to do much as Salvador Perez's backup last season, hitting .250/.298/.330 with one homer in 48 games, and he's unlikely to fill a significant role this year, either.
