Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez tests positive for coronavirus

The Kansas City Royals announced Saturday that catcher Salvador Perez has tested positive for Covid-19. The MLB team said, however, that Perez is asymptomatic.

Perez does not know how he contracted the virus.

“I don’t feel anything. I’m in my home right now,” Perez told reporters. “Nobody in my family is positive. Everybody is negative. Everybody took the test two days ago and yesterday, too.”

MLB and the MLB Players Association on Friday announced the first set of results for Covid-19 testing before the start of workouts and full baseball activities. Thirty-one players and 7 staff members tested positive out of 3,185 samples that were collected.

“I can’t wait to be back. I know it’s going to take me at least 12 days,” Perez said, “but I’m good. I don’t feel anything.”

He added, “Hopefully everything passes super-fast, and I can be back with the guys on the field.”

The MLB season resumed Wednesday with players reporting to training. Games are scheduled to start on July 23 or 24.
