Joey Gallo is back, and striking out less
Joey Gallo's 2016 season has featured a significant drop in his strikeout rate, so far
The Texas Rangers called up Joey Gallo yesterday, a move that was a surprise to just about everyone, and a move whose implications going forward still aren't terribly clear. Gallo and Jared Hoying were called up to replace Shin-Soo Choo and Drew Stubbs, both of whom were placed on the d.l., but it is unknown whether Gallo is going to be here for a while, or if he's just keeping a spot on the bench warm until Rougned Odor's suspension starts, at which point Jurickson Profar will replace him.
