Gallo (foot) will join Triple-A St. Paul next week to start a rehab assignment, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo was placed on the 10-day injured list late last week with a left foot contusion. He should be healthy enough to rejoin the Twins before the end of the regular season, although it's not clear what kind of role he might have.

The Twins placed Gallo on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left foot contusion, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo is just 2-for-22 with a homer and two RBI since Aug. 18, and he'll now be sidelined for the next 10 days. Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Gallo came off the bench and went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's 20-6 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo slugged one of the Twins' six home runs on the day, though his was of the cheaper variety since it came off position player David Fry, who covered the final four innings for the Guardians after the game descended into a blowout. The home run counts all the same for Gallo, who left the yard for the first time since his two-homer effort Aug. 12 in Philadelphia. In between those two games, Gallo went 1-for-25 with six walks against 16 strikeouts. Though he's started in four of the Twins' last six games, Gallo still seems to be on the outside looking in for a strong-side platoon role.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two of his absences coming against right-handed pitching and two coming versus left-handers. At this stage, the Twins have seemingly pulled the plug on Gallo as a strong-side platoon option at either first base or in left field. Aside from a four-hit, two-homer game Aug. 12 in Philadelphia, Gallo has otherwise gone 3-for-32 with 20 strikeouts and one extra-base hit on the month.

Gallo is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo will be on the bench with lefty Wade Miley on the bump for the Brewers. Donovan Solano will take over at first base and bat leadoff.

Gallo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo has a .212/.395/.485 slash line through 33 at-bats in August and will head to the bench Sunday for the second time in the past three games. Donovan Solano will receive another start at first base while Jordan Luplow and Matt Wallner (hand) man the corner outfield spots.

Gallo is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo had been in the lineup for six of the last seven games, but he'll start this one on the bench. Donovan Solano will be at first base.

Gallo isn't in the Twins' lineup Sunday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

With left-hander Ranger Suarez set to start on the bump for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Gallo will retreat to the dugout for the beginning of Sunday's contest. Christian Vazquez will fill in at first base, allowing Ryan Jeffers to start behind the plate.

Gallo went 4-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger hasn't had a multi-hit performance since late June, slashing a miserable .123/.256/.342 over his last 35 games with an incomprehensible 52.3 percent strikeout rate, but Gallo broke out in a big way Saturday. Despite that deep slump, he's still reached 20 homers this season for the fifth time in his career, but he remains on track to have a batting average below .200 for the fourth straight campaign, and his power has resulted in only 38 RBI through 93 games in 2023.

Gallo went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's loss against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Gallo took Alex Faedo deep in the second inning, putting the Twins ahead 3-2. It was Gallo's first homer since July 17 -- he'd been struggling mightily since then, going just 3-for-335 (.086) over 18 games before Wednesday's contest. Overall, the 29-year-old Gallo is slashing .176/.297/.443 with 18 homers, 34 RBI and 33 runs scored across 286 plate appearances this season.
