NJ Advance Media | Brendan Kuty: Joey Gallo’s struggles with the Yankees are simply not getting better. While he was bad after being traded from Texas last year, this season he’s hit a nadir, and he hit .138 with 32 strikeouts over the month of June. That’s just unplayable, but the Yankees don’t really have any good options without a replacement for him. Letting him get consistent at-bats hasn’t seemed to help. They could bench him and use him as a late inning pinch runner and defensive replacement, but that would reduce his value if they want to trade him, as rumored.
