Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo announced Monday that outfielder Kole Calhoun tested positive for COVID-19, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Lovullo added Calhoun is asymptomatic and feeling great.

Calhoun is the third player on the D-Backs' 40-man roster to test positive for the virus.

Under MLB guidelines, the 32-year-old will be placed into quarantine and must return two negative tests before being allowed to participate at the club's summer camp.

Calhoun signed a two-year contract with the D-Backs in December after spending his first eight big-league seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.

He hit .232/.325/.467 with 33 home runs, 29 doubles, and 74 RBIs in 2019.
