Joey Gallo

Joey Gallo (wrist) said he's unlikely to return this season.

Fantasy Impact

Gallo has been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right wrist near the end of July. He hasn't resumed hitting since suffering a setback in Arizona last week and the Rangers have decided to shut him down. With the Rangers eliminated from playoff contention, there is no reason to rush Gallo back. Gallo slashed .253/.389/.598 with 22 home runs, 49 RBI, 54 runs scored and four steals in 70 games this season.

Joey Gallo (wrist) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday.

Gallo has been sidelined since July 24th after undergoing surgery for a right hamate bone fracture in his wrist, and while he'll be eligible to come off the IL Tuesday, his season is likely over.Tim Federowicz had his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Joey Gallo (wrist) is unlikely to play in the Rangers' upcoming weekend series against the A's, and may not ultimately return this season.

Fantasy Impact

Gallo had been on track to return to action Friday, but for a reason that has not yet been disclosed, it appears he will not resume playing as expected. Gallo's status will be updated further when more details are released, but with the Rangers out of the playoff hunt, there's no incentive to push Gallo's return until he is a 100 percent.

Joey Gallo (wrist) is expected to come off the injured list September 20th.

Fantasy Impact

Gallo will travel to Arizona this weekend for simulated games at instructs Sunday and Monday. If he returns September 20th, Gallo would have nine games to close out the season.

Joey Gallo will have to undergo surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his wrist.

Fantasy Impact

This is arguably a worst case scenario after Gallo injured his wrist earlier this week. The timeline on hamate bone injuries vary, but he figures to be sidelined at least through August. At that point Texas might elect to play it safe with their star slugger. Fantasy owners should hold onto him as long as they can, but those fighting for their playoff lives might need to move on.
