Gallo reportedly injures left hamstring

Joey Gallo injured his left hamstring and could miss the next two weeks of play in the Venezuelan Winter League, according to a report from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The Rangers' former top prospect, who is expected to compete for the Opening Day spot at first base, reportedly sustained the injury running to first during his first at-bat in Thursday's game for Navegantes del Magallanes. He's 2-for-7 with a homer, four walks, five runs and five RBIs through three games in the VWL.

Gallo went 1-for-25 with two runs scored at the big league level this year, joining the club full-time when rosters expanded in September.
