Joey Gallo Returning To Starting Lineup Monday
1 year agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is back in the starting lineup Monday night against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert. Gallo didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Oakland A's but did draw a walk in a pinch-hitting appearance. It's been a typical Joey Gallo-type season for the 29-year-old in 2023, bouncing back from a difficult 2022 campaign. Gallo has clubbed 16 home runs while drawing walks at a healthy 14.2% clip across 72 games. Predictably, that production has come alongside a plethora of punchouts as Gallo's 40.6% K% is his highest mark since his first couple tastes of big-league action in 2015 and 2016. At the end of the day, his 115 wRC+ puts his bat 15% above the league average.
