Cam Gallagher back to Kansas City's bench Sunday

The Kansas City Royals did not include Cam Gallagher in their lineup for Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Gallagher will move back to the bench Sunday as MJ Melendez takes over at catcher after a game as the designated hitter. Ryan O'Hearn will fill the DH spot for today's game.

Gallagher will likely continue to back up Melendez with teammate Salvador Perez (thumb) on the injured list. He's batting an impressive .350 with a .959 OPS, but has only made 23 plate appearances so far.
