Gallo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game agains the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees are giving Anthony Rizzo a day out of the field and using him at designated hitter while moving Giancarlo Stanton to the outfield, leaving no spot in the lineup for Gallo. He'll be sitting for the first time in 2022 after going 3-for-13 with four walks and no other counting stats through the Yankees' first four games.

Gallo went 2-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees managed only four hits all night, and Gallo's second-inning single the other way against the shift was the only one they scrounged up through six innings against Alek Manoah. Gallo is 3-for-13 to begin the season but is still looking for his first extra-base hit, while his 4:5 BB:K through four games is par for the course for the 28-year-old slugger.

Gallo was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays after being hit by a pitch on the right forearm and is scheduled to undergo X-rays, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo went 0-for-2 with a run scored before being pulled for a pinch hitter during the ninth inning. Manager Aaron Boone said the slugger was lifted because he wasn't physically able to take his scheduled at-bat, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, and it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss any time with only four games left in the regular season.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run -- his 38th of the season -- in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-3 on Tuesday in his first game against his former team, Gallo was able to break through in the sixth inning with a 395-foot blast to the second deck of Yankee Stadium. Though his first two months with the Yankees have largely been disappointing, Gallo seems to have rediscovered his power stroke over the past two weeks. He's erupted for seven home runs over his last 11 games.

Gallo (neck) will bat fifth and play left field Monday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo left Saturday's game against Cleveland with a tight neck and didn't appear in Sunday's contest, but the injury evidently wasn't a particularly serious one. The Yankees will hope his brief time off doesn't snap a hot streak that has seen him homer five times in his last five starts.
