Gallagher was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher will serve as the Royals' third catcher down the stretch. He hit .292/.336/.400 with five home runs in 73 games at Triple-A this season and hit .385 in 16 big-league plate appearances.

Gallagher was optioned back to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Salvador Perez being activated from the disabled list, Gallagher is returning to Triple-A and wrapping up his first career stint in the majors. In his limited time, Gallagher went 5-for-13 with a home run and five runs batted in over five games of action, and now returns to Omaha where he is batting .294 with five home runs this season.

Gallagher is starting at catcher and batting ninth Sunday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher slides into the starting lineup, giving Drew Butera a rest, for the fourth time since being called up Aug. 6 when Salvador Perez (oblique) landed on the disabled list. However, the latter is scheduled to return early next week, meaning Sunday could be Gallagher's final MLB appearance for quite a while.

Gallagher was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first big-league promotion for Gallagher, who received the call due to Salvador Perez's (oblique) placement on the 10-day disabled list. The 24-year-old had been enjoying a breakout offensive season at Omaha, with his .294 average representing a 30-plus-point improvement from any of his other marks from his previous six seasons in the minors. It's not expected that Gallagher will receive more than one or two starts per week while Perez remains sidelined, as Drew Butera will likely take on the brunt of the workload behind the plate.

Gallagher is slashing .243/.310/.320 through 31 games with Triple-A Omaha in 2017.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher's minor-league career .235 batting average isn't what the Royals expected when selecting him in the second round of the 2011 draft. Although the catcher remains on the 40-man roster, Gallaher's highly unlikely to make his MLB debut any time soon. He'll continue to work through his first season at Triple-A while providing the organization with depth in case of an emergency situation.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old hit to the tune of a .259/.348/.359 season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas in 2016 and gets his first taste of the highest farm level. He'll aim to work his way into a major league role if the need calls for one this year.
