Kingery told NBC Sports Philadelphia that he first felt symptoms on June 11th. “I know five or six people who had it and every single person was affected differently," Kingery said. "Some had a sore throat, really bad. I never had a sore throat. Some were asymptomatic the whole way. I was not.” The good news is he's feeling better and has returned 1-of-2 negative tests needed to join team workouts.

Kingery, Hector Neris, Tommy Hunter, and Ranger Suarez were all placed on the injured list this week. The team did not announce was it was for, which made it easy to speculate. It is important to remember that this doesn't mean any of them have contracted the virus. It could simply mean they are showing symptoms or have had contact with an infected person.

Kingery was in line to be the Phillies' starting 2B going into the season. It's unclear what the injury is, but with the state of everything and the inability to disclose a specific diagnosis, it's easy to speculate. Kingery will look to make sure his IL stint is only 10 days, so he can still be ready for Opening Day.
