Joey Gallo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

First baseman/designated hitter Joey Gallo is in the lineup for the Washington Nationals against the New York Yankees on Tuesday, starting at first base and batting eighth in the order against right-hander Gerrit Cole. Gallo is hitting .165/.285/.310 with five homers, 12 RBI, and 18 runs scored in 52 games with the Nationals. He has struck out 78 times in 158 at-bats and has not homered since June 3. Not even the deepest fantasy leagues can justify having Gallo on a roster. At this point, it appears his days as a major-leaguer are winding down. You'll also want to avoid him in DFS against strikeout artist Cole.

The Washington Nationals will have first baseman Joey Gallo (hamstring) back on the roster for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies after activating him from the 10-day injured list, although he won't start on Tuesday. Gallo had been on a minor-league rehab assignment for Triple-A Rochester, where he hit .177/.378/.484 with six homers, 15 RBI, and 17 runs scored in 19 games. He is hitting .164/.285/.321 with five homers, 11 RBI, and 17 runs scored along with a stolen base in 46 games with the Nationals. Despite his massive power, Gallo is not an option fantasy managers should consider in mixed formats anymore.

Washington Nationals outfielder/first baseman/designated hitter Joey Gallo (hamstring) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, and the plan is for him to play five innings at first base. Then Gallo will serve as the DH for a full game on Wednesday and play five to seven innings in right field on Thursday. Gallo was placed on the 10-day injured list way back on June 12 with a left-hamstring strain. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger could rejoin the Nats by the weekend, barring any setbacks on his rehab assignment. When he's back, though, he could merely be a bench bat for the Nationals as they play out the string in 2024. Before hurting his hammy, Gallo was hitting a pathetic .164 (23-for-140) with five homers, 11 RBI and 71 strikeouts in his 165 plate appearances. The power potential is no longer worth it for fantasy managers in mixed leagues.
