Gallo (groin) will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game in Toronto, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo is back in action after he was idle for each of the Yankees' last three games with left groin tightness. The Yankees will hope the time off due to injury allowed Gallo to get a mental reset at the plate; he enters Wednesday's series finale with a career-worst .570 OPS over his 69 plate appearances this season.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-2 win Wednesday over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
After striking out in his first three plate appearances, Gallo took Felix Bautista deep to leadoff the seventh inning. The left fielder only recorded a hit in four of his first 14 games but has doubled that total with a modest four-game hitting streak, smacking home runs on consecutive nights. While his batting average and slugging percentage are trending in the right direction of late, he's still striking out in 41.3 percent of his plate appearances.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 12-8 win Tuesday over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo homered off Jordan Lyles in the fourth inning, his first of the season. It has not been the start that Gallo had hoped for as he looks to enter free agency after the season. The slugger has only eight hits (two for extra-bases) and two RBI in 17 games and has struck out in nearly 40 percent of his plate appearances. Hopefully, Tuesday's homer will get him back on track and the power and on-base skills will begin to show up in his stat line.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will retreat to the bench for the second time in three games after he donned the Golden Sombrero in Tuesday's 4-2 win, going hitless with four strikeouts in four at-bats. The 28-year-old slugger is sitting on a .121/.256/.121 slash line and 38.5 percent strikeout rate for the season and could continue to sit out regularly against left-handed pitching while he remains in the midst of an extended cold streak.
