DETROIT - Joey Gallo is back on the Rangers active roster, back in center field and will, on Wednesday, challenge for a spot in the AL's All-Star team starting lineup.
He will not, however, apparently be taking his prodigious power to the All-Star Game Home Run Derby.
And, perhaps, most surprisingly of all, the choice was not Gallo's.
While reports have started to circulate that some invitations have been extended to players to participate in the newly formatted derby in which the winner will walk away with a $1 million prize, Gallo said he was not invited.
