Joey Gallo News
Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The left-handed slugger will miss some time due to a left foot contusion. The organization hasn't given a timetable for Gallo's return to the field. At this point, Gallo could very well be on the injured list for the rest of the regular season. Right now, Gallo is slashing an ugly .177/.301/.440 with 21 home runs and 40 RBI in 111 games. In a corresponding move, Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) has been activated from the injured list and will play first base on Friday.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo went 4-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI, and a walk in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He took Taijuan Walker deep in the fourth inning for his first home run of the game. The 29-year-old went deep again, blasting a three-run shot off Yunior Marte for his second long ball on Saturday. He is slashing .185/..305/.465 with 20 home runs, 38 RBI, and 35 runs over 93 games in 2023. Gallo only contributes a little in other categories, making him mainly an option for fantasy managers searching for power.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (illness) and first baseman/outfielder Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) are both back in the lineup on Friday against Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Gallo is in left field and is batting ninth, while Kirilloff is at first base and hitting third in the order. Gallo left the game early on Wednesday, but he's back in there after Thursday's off day. The 29-year-old Gallo gives fantasy managers plenty of power, but also plenty of disappointment and swing and miss. He's hitting .177 (40-for-226) on the year with 17 homers and 32 RBI. Kirilloff took Wednesday's game off with a minor shoulder injury after diving for a ball on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been much more consistent than Gallo with a .275 average (60-for-218) and .818 OPS in 67 games.

Cal Raleigh will forever be remembered for the HR that finally sent Seattle into the postseason, but his 2022 numbers also delivered plenty of fantasy juice. He hit .211/.284/.489 with 27 HR in just 415 PAs and the pop was legit. His 55.7 FB% was insane, but it works when you have a 19.1% HR/FB backed by 94.8 mph of average airborne exit velocity and a 15.4% rate of Brls/BBE. Raleigh also pulled 31.2% of his flies, making them even more valuable. Unfortunately, the poor batting average was also real. Raleigh struck out 29.4% of the time last season, and his 15.3 SwStr% suggests that he deserved all of those whiffs. Furthermore, the same 55.7 FB% that supports his home runs also gives his .226 BABIP staying power. Maybe the new shift rules will help him boost his average a little, as Raleigh was shifted against at every opportunity last year. Regardless, a catcher with a solid chance of cracking 30+ HR is a good value at his ADP of 154.46 provided you prepare for the batting average hit.
