Gallo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
It's no surprise Gallo is again on the bench as the Tigers start a second straight lefty, but he didn't start Sunday versus a righty, either. The 29-year-old has just a .543 OPS since the start of July.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Joey Wentz on the bump for Detroit, the Twins will counter with a right-handed-heavy lineup that leaves no room for Gallo. Donovan Solano will pick up the start at first base, where Gallo has been seeing most of his playing time of late while Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) has been on the shelf.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will often hit the bench against left-handed starters, but he'll take a seat Sunday against Arizona righty Zac Gallen. Donovan Solano is starting at first base while Ryan Jeffers serves as the designated hitter.

Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo has battled pink eye and another unrelated illness of late, but his absence from the lineup Sunday likely has more to do with the Royals bringing a southpaw (Ryan Yarbrough) to the hill. Even before he missed a few games, Gallo may have been at risk of losing out on starts in the outfield against right-handed pitching to the hot-hitting Matt Wallner, but the Twins should have room in the lineup for both in the short term. With Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) moving to the 10-day injured list Sunday, Gallo could end up seeing most of his starts versus righties at first base over the next handful of games.

Gallo (illness) is starting in left field and batting ninth Friday versus the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo made an early exit from Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners because of an illness, but he's good to go following Thursday's team off day. The 29-year-old slugger has registered a .744 OPS with 17 homers and 32 RBI through 80 games this season.

Gallo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mariners with an apparent injury, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo looked like he might have tweaked something while scoring from second base on a single in the bottom of the sixth inning. He initially remained in for defense in the seventh but was replaced prior to the eighth inning. Gallo went 1-for-3 with an RBI double before being lifted.

Gallo (eye) will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Gallo will enter the lineup for the first time since Thursday now that he's made a full recovery from conjunctivitis, though he had already made a cameo off the bench in Sunday's extra-inning win over the White Sox. He went hitless in his lone at-bat Sunday and is now 4-for-35 in July, though three of those hits have been home runs.

EDGE Analysis
Gallo had missed two games due to conjunctivitis, but he was able to come off the bench in Sunday's contest. It appears he'll be ready to return to the starting lineup Monday against the Mariners.
