Gallo (wrist) has flown back to Texas to be re-evaluated by the team and his status will be updated Friday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is unlikely to play in this weekend's series against the A's and may not return at all this season. It seems he suffered a setback in his recovery from wrist surgery. This injury denied him a chance to hit 40-plus home runs for the third straight season. If he does not return, he will finish with 22 long balls, 54 runs, 49 RBI, four steals and a .253 average in 70 games.

Gallo (wrist) is unlikely to play in the Rangers' upcoming weekend series against the A's, and may not ultimately return this season, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo had been on track to return to action Friday, but for a reason that has not yet been disclosed, it appears he will not resume playing as expected. Gallo's status will be updated further when more details are released, but with the Rangers out of the playoff hunt, they don't have much incentive to activate him from the injured list if he suffered any sort of setback or is simply having trouble getting back to 100 percent.

Gallo (wrist) participated in a live batting practice session Tuesday, Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The session checks off another box in Gallo's recovery from right hand surgery in late July. "He looked fine," Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. "He said he felt decent after, so it's a good step. Hopefully he can do that again and maybe get in some games pretty soon." Gallo is trying to return before the end of the season.

Gallo (wrist) said Friday that he hopes to take live BP next week in Arlington, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Two weeks ago, Gallo hinted at the possibility of not playing again this season, saying that he still felt pain while swinging. However, he's changed his tune and now seems optimistic about his chances of returning for the final couple weeks after a few successful rounds of on-field batting practice in recent days. Facing live pitching will be the final test in his recovery from a broken hamate bone.

Gallo (wrist) said Monday that he assumes he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list in "a couple weeks," Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since requiring an operation July 25 to remove the broken hamate bone from his right hand, Gallo has steadily increased his activities. He's expected to take another small step forward by taking on-field batting practice in New York on Tuesday or Wednesday before eventually graduating to simulated-game action. At this stage in his recovery, Gallo noted that he's mainly concerned about regaining full strength with his grip, as he could struggle to provide his usual impact as a power hitter if he returns at less than 100 percent.
