Gallagher went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

ANALYSIS
Gallagher has played infrequently as the Guardians' backup catcher, and this was his second two-RBI game of the year. It's been an ugly May for Gallagher -- he's gone 5-for-32 (.156) over 12 contests. While he remains in the backup role, he could be at risk of losing his spot on the Guardians' roster if they decide to call up Bo Naylor for an extended look in the majors.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021

2019

Gallagher tested positive for COVID-19 in July. He was not forced to miss much time as a result; Gallagher was on the taxi squad before the end of July and was officially activated Aug. 2. Playing behind Salvador Perez, Gallagher upped his BA nearly 50 points and increased his walk rate to an even 10%. Gallagher did not have a single barrel by Statcast's definition and his xSLG was just .314, more than 100 points below his actual mark. The improvements look flimsy and Perez will play close to every day as long as he's healthy, but Gallagher is the clear No. 2 behind Perez. The Royals seem to be trying to push to be competitive, although upgrading the second catcher spot probably isn't a priority right now, especially since Gallagher provides strong defense behind the plate.

Gallagher got into 22 games for the Royals last season, finishing with a forgettable .206/.250/.302 line and one home run. He never projected as anything other than a mediocre backup and hasn't done anything to shake that perception. Gallagher has hit for a decent average and shown fine control of the plate at the highest level of the minors, but he has just 32 total homers over eight professional seasons. He lines up as the Royals' No. 2 catcher behind Salvador Perez heading into the 2019 season. Perez has come to the plate at least 499 times in six straight seasons, so there have never been too many at-bats left over for his backup. Gallagher's path to fantasy relevance would require a Perez injury, and even then his bat isn't good enough to have anything more than deep-league value.
