Welcome back to the big leagues, Joey Gallo...
The Texas Rangers have recalled Joey Gallo from AAA Round Rock, and have optioned Jared Hoying to AAA Round Rock to make room for him on the active roster.
This is a move I was...not expecting. I figured the Rangers would hold off on calling up Gallo until at least August 1, since there was a possibility that he will be dealt before the trade deadline, and I figured that they also wanted to give him more time in AAA, especially given how reluctant Jeff Banister was to play him the last time he was up.
