Gallo is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger isn't reported to be dealing with an injury at this point, so this appears to just be an instance of the Rangers giving him extra rest entering the All-Star break. Gallo has been on a tear at the plate during the past 12 games, slugging 11 home runs while driving in 19 runs across 37 at-bats. David Dahl will start in right field Sunday.

Gallo went 1-for-2 with a home run and three walks Saturday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo took James Kaprielian deep in the first inning, following up Adolis Garcia's dinger with one of his own to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead. It was the team-leading 24th homer of the year for Gallo, who also walked three times to up his American League-leading total to 72 in that category. The 27-year-old is enjoying a terrific season, slashing .239/.402/.522 with 52 RBI while going a perfect 6-for-6 in stolen bases.

Gallo went 2-for-3 with two home runs, an additional RBI and a walk in Wednesday's loss against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo was responsible for all the offense the Rangers mustered in this game, as he went deep twice with solo shots off Casey Mize. The star slugger now has 23 homers on the season and has been on an absolute power tear with 10 blasts over his last 10 games, posting an unsustainable 1.303 slugging percentage in that span.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo took a couple of days off from knocking a ball out of the park, but he returned to his power surge Monday. He's swatted eight in the last eight games. A newly minted All-Star, Gallo is one of 12 players with at least 20 home runs. He also leads the league in walks with 64 and has a .387 on-base percentage, good for 11th in the circuit.

EDGE Analysis
Although Gallo went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts Friday, he had gone 9-for-16 with seven homers, 13 RBI and eight runs across his five appearances leading up to Friday's matchup. He'll get a breather Saturday, while David Dahl will shift to right field with Andy Ibanez starting at first base.

Gallo went 3-for-3 with a walk a home run, three RBI and two additional runs in Thursday's 8-3 win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo crushed his 20th homer in the fifth inning off Sean Manaea. At some point, pitchers will start pitching around Gallo, who has homered in five straight games, including multiple bombs in two of them. He's 9-for-16 with seven home runs and 13 RBI during the home-run streak and hit safely in six consecutive overall. Gallo's raised his average 22 points, from .217 to .239, over those six games.

Gallo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo and the Rangers were held scoreless for 25 outs until he launched a towering shot to right field off Lou Trivino to make it a 3-1 ballgame. The 27-year-old has eight homers over his last 10 games and is slashing .344/.488/1.094 with 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and a 9:12 BB:K over that span. On the year, Gallo owns a slash line of .230/.388/.480 with 19 homers, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored, six steals, and a 62:98 BB:K over 317 plate appearances. He's currently walking 19.7 percent of the time and striking out at a 30.9 percent rate, which is on pace for the best measures of his career. The Rangers are certainly not in playoff contention, which means Gallo could be a hot commodity on the trade block for contending teams in need of offensive help.

Gallo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo went deep off Brady Singer in the first inning and that means he's now hit homers in consecutive games for the first time in 2021. Gallo, who has now gone yard five times over his last eight games, has a low batting average of just .224, but the elite slugger supplies that with impressive power -- he has 16 homers on the season already.

Gallo went 2-for-3 with two home runs, five total RBI and two walks in Saturday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo blasted a three-run shot off Ervin Santana in the fourth inning, and he also went deep off Wade Davis with a two-run bomb in the eighth inning. The slugger is only hitting .223 but continues to display raw power to all fields, blasting 15 homers and posting a .818 OPS across 73 games in 2021. He also has four homers across his last seven games and six during this month.
