王室のs' Dozier 実験（する）s 肯定的な for COVID-19 before 展示
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas City 王室のs outfielder Hunter Dozier has 実験（する）d 肯定的な for COVID-19 and was placed on the 負傷させるd 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） before the club played its final オープン戦 against the 枢機けい／主要なs in St. Louis on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old is coming off a 打開 season in which he 攻撃する，衝突する 26 ホームランs, tied for the American League lead in ３倍になるs and had 84 打点s. He is 推定する／予想するd to play a big 役割 for the 王室のs during their abbreviated 60-game season, which begins against the Indians on Friday night in Cleveland.
"I´m disappointed to say the least," Dozier said. "I have been 攻撃する，衝突する with a couple of symptoms that go with the ウイルス, so I need to follow our 医療の team´s direction, get 井戸／弁護士席 and then work on getting 支援する on the field. It´s disheartening because I felt things were going 井戸／弁護士席 on the field and I have a good feeling about the ball club we have.
"To have to watch for whatever period of time that I´m out is going to painful."
Painful for the 王室のs, too.
They still have catcher （機の）カム Gallagher, first baseman Ryan O´Hearn, catching prospect Nick Dini and 救済 投手 Daniel Tillo on the 負傷させるd 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） with COVID-19. All-星／主役にする catcher Salvador P?rez, starters Brad Keller and Jakob Junis, and third baseman Matt Reynolds 実験（する）d 肯定的な but have been （疑いを）晴らすd to return.

The startling number of 肯定的な 実験（する）s 代表するs about 10% of those made public by players and teams.
"We spoke last night and he was asymptomatic. Today he started to have a couple more things kick up," 王室のs 経営者／支配人 マイク Matheny said. "He's sad. He's 失望させるd 同様に. A couple of these guys - they're not going to shy away - they're just angry. They worked so hard to get themselves ready and this thing comes along, even when they've been so careful, going to crazy extents to wear masks, to wash 手渡すs, to do everything. And it still snuck up on them."
The 肯定的な 実験（する） leaves Matheny with another 穴を開ける to fill in his starting 顔触れ.
Ryan McBroom, who made his big league debut last season, will likely start at first base with O'Hearn sidelined by the ウイルス. Alex Gordon, Whit Merrifield and Jorge Soler are the 最高の，を越す three outfielders with Dozier out, while 指定するd hitter could be filled by Bubba Starling, Erick Mejia or Franchy Cordero, who was just acquired in a 貿易（する） with San Diego.
The starting rotation is also in flux with Keller and Junis trying to work their way into 形態／調整. Danny Duffy will start 開始 day against Cleveland and 新人 Brady Singer will make his big league debut on Saturday. But Matheny said he was still sorting things out after that, and the health of his staff will be a big part of his 決定／判定勝ち（する）-making 過程.
"These 肉親，親類d of things are 失望させるing when you look at the brevity of a major league career and 構内／化合物 it with the brevity of a major league season," said Matheny, who joked about 存在 terrified any time he gets a text message these days. "A lot of them are looking at this 前向きに／確かに but they're also looking at it like it's out of their 手渡すs."
