Joey Gallo Dropped To Sixth In The Batting Order Sunday
7 years agoTexas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has been dropped from his usual fifth spot to the sixth spot in Sunday's game versus Dallas Keuchel and the Astros. Gallo has been having a tough time at the plate recently, batting just .059 over the last week and .204 on the year. Gallo isn't known for his average, but the drop in the lineup may be an indication that the team is starting to get impatient. Don't expect much from Gallo on Sunday, as he also is batting .171 against lefties this season on top of his recent struggles. Power is easy to come by these days and the Rangers know that, so continue to monitor his playing time and batting spot if he can't get it together.
