Gallo hit a three-run home run in his only at-bat during Wednesday's 8-5 victory versus the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo pinch hit for Hanser Alberto in the seventh inning with Los Angeles up by a run. The slugger provided substantial breathing room by knocking a three-run homer to left-center field. The homer was his first as a Dodger and 13th overall this season. Gallo isn't going to be an everyday player for Los Angeles and has struck out eight times in 15 at-bats with his new club, but he's notched a hit in four of his six contests after going 2-for-25 in his final 11 games with the Yankees.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo is 3-for-14 with a double, a run and eight strikeouts in five games since being acquired by the Dodgers, and he'll take a seat Wednesday after starting the past three games. The 28-year-old should be in the lineup a few days per week, but he's unlikely to fill an everyday role with Chris Taylor and Justin Turner both back from the injured list.

Gallo is not in Friday's lineup against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is presumably in a pretty strict platoon, so it's not a surprise to see him sitting against lefty Sean Manaea. Gallo is 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in his lone game as a Dodger.

Gallo isn't starting Wednesday against San Francisco, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo was added to the Dodgers' active roster and could be available off the bench for his debut after being acquired from the Yankees on Tuesday. James Outman is starting in left field and batting eighth Wednesday.

Gallo was traded from the Yankees to the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for Clayton Beeter, Pat Ragazzo fo SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beeter is seen as a high-risk/high-reward relief prospect, so the Yankees essentially got what they could for Gallo, as the fanbase had turned against him, while Matt Carpenter and Andrew Benintendi made him expendable. Gallo hit .159/.282/.339 with 12 home runs in 82 games with the Yankees and is set to become a free agent after the season. Max Muncy has had a rough season, in part due to physical issues, so Gallo gives the Dodgers another left-handed power bat to potentially use down the stretch, but they are taking a flyer on him given the low cost of acquisition.

Gallo isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo has had inconsistent playing time to begin the second half of the season, and he'll be on the bench for the fourth time in the last seven games. Matt Carpenter is starting in right field and batting fifth.

Gallo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo took Joey Krehbiel yard in the seventh inning to record his 12th homer of the season. He's gone deep three times in his last 10 starts but is still hitting just .161 with six RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Overall, Gallo has a .164/.291/.351 line across 265 plate appearances on the campaign.

Gallo remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Before sitting out Saturday's 14-1 win, Gallo made four consecutive starts but went 1-for-12 with three walks and six strikeouts to drop his season-long batting average to .161. With Matt Carpenter leaving the yard twice and driving in seven runs to bring his OPS up to an incredible 1.406 on the season, Gallo no longer looks like the next man up to enter the lineup if the Yankees were to lose a player to injury. Gallo's dwindling playing time and poor production this season makes him an easy drop in the majority of mixed leagues.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's victory over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo's solo blast came in the sixth inning to put the Yankees up 4-0. It was his 10th home run of the year. It has been a rough season for the outfielder as he is slashing just .167/.283/.338 on the season. He has six strikeouts in three appearances in July and nearly three times as many strikeouts as hits for the season. Gallo also went hitless in his final nine games in June.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will take a seat for the second time in the series, with his move to the bench coming against right-handed starting pitchers (Justin Verlander and Jose Urquidy) on both occasions. The slugger has gone 0-for-17 with 10 strikeouts over his last seven games, with the slump dropping his season average to .173. The Yankees don't seem ready to move Gallo to the bench on a full-time basis just yet, but he may have to settle for more of a part-time role while Giancarlo Stanton picks up more work in the outfield at Gallo's expense.
