Rangers Place Joey Gallo On IL With Oblique Strain

By Connor Byrne | June 2, 2019 at 11:01am CDT

TODAY: Gallo has indeed been placed on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain, as per a Rangers announcement.  Delino DeShields has been recalled to take Gallo’s 25-man roster spot.

YESTERDAY: Rangers slugger Joey Gallo left the team’s game Saturday with tightness in his left oblique, according to the club’s executive vice president of communications,  John Blake. Gallo will undergo an MRI.

Oblique injuries often lead to weeks-long stays on the injured list, which the Rangers certainly hope isn’t the case here. However, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News suggests an IL stint is likely for Gallo.

It would hurt for Texas to go without Gallo, who has been its best player in 2019. The 25-year-old outfielder’s currently on pace for his third straight 40-home run season, though Gallo wasn’t anywhere near this productive in the previous two campaigns. Gallo, who has slashed .272/.415/.633 in 212 plate appearances, ranks fourth in baseball in fWAR (2.9), fifth in homers (17) and seventh in wRC+ (169).

Thanks in large part to Gallo, the Rangers have been one of the majors’ surprise teams this year. The club’s 28-27 with an offense that stands among the league’s highest-scoring groups so far. Texas ranks second in the game in runs (317) and 12th in wRC+ (102).

    Jeff Boras won’t be pleased with this. He’s looking for Gallo to be one of his cash cows for the next decade.

      Gallo isn’t even arb eligible until this offseason and I doubt ” Jeff Boras” cares

        I would care how Scott Boras felt if he were hit by a truck. Though I feel bad for Jeff Borris though.

    These guys need to stop lifting so many weights. Just strengthen the wrists. They’re too tight! They need some fat. You can’t pull fat.

        It’s common knowledge that too much lifting isn’t a good thing. A little fat is a good thing.

    My fantasy team is being hit hard with injuries. First Altuve, then Springer, and now Gallo. I’m in trouble
