Rangers Likely To Place Joey Gallo On IL

By Connor Byrne | July 24, 2019 at 6:02pm CDT

Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo’s right wrist injury is “likely” to lead to a stint on the IL, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. The extent of the injury isn’t yet clear, but there’s concern within the team that Gallo fractured the hamate bone in his hand, per Grant. If so, he’ll need surgery.

Already amid a tailspin, a significant injury to their best player is the last thing the Rangers need. The club has surprisingly been in the playoff hunt for most of the season, but after losing nine of 10, it’s at .500 (51-51) and 6 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

The fact that Texas has been in the hunt for most of the year is a tribute to Gallo, who has been one of the majors’ top players in 2019. Gallo missed time earlier in the season because of an oblique injury, but he has still slashed .253/.389/.598 (146 wRC+) with 22 home runs in 297 plate appearances. Factoring in his work in the field (4 Defensive Runs Saves, 5.5 Ultimate Zone Rating), Gallo has posted a career-high 3.3 fWAR.

If Gallo heads to the IL for the second time this year, the Rangers will recall Willie Calhoun from Triple-A Nashville to replace him, according to Grant. The Rangers demoted Calhoun a week ago, to his chagrin.

    I remember the “good old days” in the 70’s and 80’s when the Strangers had their annual “June Swoon” when the heat got to be too much. Thanks to El Nino, this has been a relatively cool summer. Not anymore, apparently. I wonder what the Strangers are going to do at the deadline but I don’t have much confidence in Jon Daniels.
    GM’s can get old too…..
