Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will take a seat after he started in each of the past six games while going 2-for-20 at the dish. Five of those starts came while Gavin Lux was absent from the lineup due to a back injury, but with Lux returning to action Saturday, Gallo could see his opportunities to play take a hit moving forward.

Gallo went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 4-0 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo got aboard on a fielder's choice in the second inning, driving in the Dodgers' first run. He added a steal, his third of the year and first since July 14. The slugger has produced two home runs, eight RBI and three runs scored through 12 games in September despite hitting just .139 (5-for-36). For the year, he's posted a .160/.280/.355 slash line with 17 home runs, 40 RBI and 43 runs scored through 113 contests between the Dodgers and the Yankees.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-0 victory versus the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo plated the first runs of the contest with a 438-foot, two-run shot to center field in the second inning. He also struck out twice Tuesday -- the third time in his past four games that he's fanned multiple times. Gallo's move to Los Angeles hasn't remedied his strikeout woes -- he has a 41.1 percent strikeout rate as a Dodger -- but he's managed some positive production with five homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs over 29 games.

Gallo (elbow) is starting Friday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo exited Wednesday's win over the Giants with an elbow contusion, but he underwent X-rays that came back negative. However, he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth during Friday's series opener in San Diego.

Gallo had X-rays come back negative after leaving Wednesday's win over the Giants, which confirmed the diagnosis of an elbow contusion, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old apparently felt some tingling in his fingers after the hit-by-pitch on the elbow, but he's not dealing with any serious issues. Los Angeles' scheduled day off Thursday will provide Gallo a full day to recover ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Padres.

Gallo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants with a right elbow contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo was hit by a pitch on the elbow during the second inning and exited the contest a couple frames later. Los Angeles has a scheduled day off Thursday, so the 28-year-old will have a full day to rest up ahead of Friday's series opener in San Diego.

Gallo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo gave the Dodgers a 3-1 lead in the second inning and they didn't look back. He hadn't hit a homer in 14 games entering Tuesday, going a meager 6-for-38 (.158) with a triple, two doubles, five RBI and five runs scored in that span. In 106 contests between the Dodgers and the Yankees this year, the slugger has 16 homers, 37 RBI, 42 runs scored, two steals and a .168/.288/.367 slash line.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will hit the bench after he picked up starts in the corner outfield in seven of the past eight games. Over the last five of those starts, Gallo went a collective 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts, potentially stalling any momentum he might have had for unseating Chris Taylor in an everyday role in the outfield.

Gallo will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will pick up his fourth start in five games, but he's mostly benefited from Gavin Lux (neck) missing the previous four contests before re-entering the lineup Sunday. Chris Taylor, who had been the primary replacement at second base for Lux, is expected to take over as the Dodgers' main left fielder moving forward, but he'll get a breather for the day game after a night game. Since joining the Dodgers in an Aug. 2 deal with the Yankees, Gallo has produced a .237/.370/.579 slash line with six extra-base hits and seven RBI in 15 games.

Gallo will start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Brewers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will draw his second start in the four-game series in Milwaukee, this time replacing a resting Mookie Betts. Since being acquired from the Yankees on Aug. 2, Gallo has hit .261 with three home runs in nine games, but he'll likely be relegated to a part-time role with Chris Taylor, Cody Bellinger and Betts expected to compose Los Angeles' starting outfield in most games.
