Yovani Gallardo will take the mound Monday in the season opener for the Texas Rangers against the Oakland A's. Last year for Milwaukee, Gallardo went 8-11 with a 3.51 ERA. In 192.1 innings of work, Gallardo walked 54 and struck out 146. Monday will mark the sixth straight Opening Day start for Gallardo. (www.mlb.com)

Fantasy Impact:

The starting pitcher for the season opener, of course, was supposed to be Yu Darvish. But with Darvish out for the season, and Derek Holland slated to start the home opener, the newly acquired Gallardo will take the hill. Rangers fans, and fantasy players that drafted him, can only hope he performs better than he did this spring where he went 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA, walking six and striking out seven.
