The Twins activated Gallo (ribs) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Gallo is back from his minor right intercostal strain, which has sidelined him since April 7. The 29-year-old went 5-for-18 with three home runs and seven RBI before the injury, and he should be a near-everyday staple in Minnesota's lineup going forward.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Red Sox that he believes Gallo (intercostal) will be active and ready to play Wednesday against Boston, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo is with the team in Boston and eligible to come off the injured list after being placed on the IL with a minor right intercostal strain retroactive to April 8 last week. The slugging outfielder should return to serving as an everyday option for Minnesota starting Wednesday. He's homered three times in seven games with an .833 slugging percentage over 18 at-bats.

Gallo (intercostal) appears likely to be activated Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo is eligible for activation Tuesday, but the Twins are lined up to face left-hander Chris Sale that day in Boston and so the move might be put off another 24 hours or so. Gallo begin a rehab assignment Friday at Triple-A St. Paul as he completes his recovery from a minor right intercostal strain.

Gallo (intercostal) began a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A St. Paul. He started at first base and went 1-for-3.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like Gallo will be ready to return from the injured list when eligible on April 18. Gallo was off to a hot start by hitting three home runs in seven games before the injury.

Gallo (intercostal) said Wednesday that he will report to Triple-A St. Paul to begin a rehab assignment with the affiliate in Indianapolis this weekend, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins placed Gallo on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a right intercostal strain, but the outfielder is already feeling better, and his move to the IL appears to be out of precaution more than anything. Assuming he experiences no setbacks, Gallo looks like he'll have a good chance to come off the IL when first eligible Tuesday in Boston.

The Twins placed Gallo on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right side soreness, John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Twins' last three games, Gallo appeared to be working his way toward a return, but he'll instead be sidelined for another 10 days while he continues to deal with side soreness. Given how close he was to returning, he likely won't require an extended stay on the IL.

Gallo (side) remained out of the Twins' lineup Monday versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo hasn't played since Friday because of some soreness in his right side. He was expected to work out pregame for the second straight day Tuesday, so a return to action doesn't appear far off.

Gallo (side) will hit in the cage Tuesday before the game against the White Sox after a successful pregame workout Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo missed Monday's game as he continues to deal with side soreness, but it's a positive sign that things went well in the workout. Even if Gallo isn't able to return to the lineup against the White Sox on Tuesday, it does appear he's avoided a significant injury that would have required a trip to the injured list.

Gallo (side) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins are still viewing Gallo as day-to-day with right side soreness, but he'll be on the bench for a third straight game Monday and could be at risk of a trip to the injured list if he isn't able to make notable progress in his recovery over the next couple of days. Donovan Solano will start at first base and bat fifth in the series opener versus Chicago while Gallo sits.

Gallo (side) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo will take a seat for the second day in a row following his removal from Friday's 3-2 win over Houston with right side soreness. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli revealed Saturday that Gallo went through an MRI that revealed nothing concerning, so for the time being, the 29-year-old slugger is being viewed as day-to-day and appears likely to avoid a stint on the injured list. Matt Wallner will pick up his first start of the season Sunday in Gallo's stead, filling in as the Twins' right fielder and No. 7 hitter.
