ARLINGTON - Slugger Joey Gallo has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique muscle, the Rangers said Sunday.
The team has called up DelinoDeShields from Triple AAA Nashville.
Gallo, who is batting .276 with 17 home runs, 41 RBI and a .653 slugging percentage, sustained the injury Saturday in a 6-2 win over Kansas City. He first noticed the injury on an outfield throw and then was replaced during a fifth-inning at bat after wincing during a check swing. Before the injury, he had homered in consecutive games against the Royals to end a brief slump.
