He batted .252 with 22 homers and 49 RBIs last season. Per #Rangers GM Jon Daniels, Joey Gallo has tested positive for COVID-19. His saliva test on June 29 came back positive, but a nasal swab came back negative. Another saliva test taken on July 2 came back positive yesterday. He’s asymptomatic & feels great. He’s isolating at home.
