Gallagher was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder impingement. The move is retroactive to June 17.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher hasn't seen game action since Wednesday, so the transaction will be backdated by a few days. The 28-year-old is without a timetable for his return but will be eligible to be activated next Sunday. Sebastian Rivero was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move and will serve as the backup to Salvador Perez.

Gallagher has gone 6-for-15 (.400) in his last six games.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old only sees a small share of playing time as backup Salvador Perez. Gallagher has shown some improvement in recent games, but just two of his 10 hits this season have gone for extra bases (both doubles). He's slashing only .227/.271/273 with no home runs, one RBI and three runs scored across 49 plate appearances.

Gallagher (concussion) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old landed on the shelf with a concussion May 3 and will rejoin the Royals after clearing the concussion protocols. Gallagher will reclaim backup duties behind the plate and will start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox while Salvador Perez serves as the designated hitter.

Gallagher will start at catcher and bat eighth Wednesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Kansas City is wrapping up its series with the Angels with a day game after a night game, so Gallagher will check in behind the dish for the first time all season in place of No. 1 catcher Salvador Perez. The Royals will still keep Perez's bat in the lineup as a designated hitter Wednesday, and he'll likely continue to shoulder one of the heavier workloads in baseball among catchers. As a result, Gallagher likely won't have the opportunity to play more than once a week when Perez is healthy.

Gallagher is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Since Salvador Perez (eye) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Gallagher has predictably moved back into a reserve role. He'll be on the bench for the fifth straight game Wednesday.

Gallagher went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
