Yovani Gallardo News
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo continues to struggle as a starting pitcher this season. Gallardo gave up six earned runs in five innings in taking his first loss of the season at Boston Tuesday. Since becoming a starter Gallardo has surrendered 21 earned runs in 28 innings. In addition, Gallardo has not exactly been striking a ton of hitters out, with just 18 strikeouts since entering the rotation. Pitching in Arlington is always tough but Gallardo has struggled both at home and on the road this season. With his current form Gallardo is barely usable even in AL-only formats and is certainly someone to avoid in DFS lineups, when pitching.
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo will take the mound for the Rangers for the first time this season on Sunday. The Rangers had to make a decision on Gallardo by last Friday or risk him opting out of his contract. Gallardo somewhat forced the Rangers hand by pitching well at Triple-A. In 49 2/3 innings, he has a 3.81 ERA with 40 strikeouts and just 14 walks. Gallardo has averaged just under five innings a start at Triple-A which is a big concern if you are considering him for DFS. Gallardo does not have enough upside to be particularly useful in daily formats, but he could offer some value for deep season-long leagues.
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo could opt-out of his Triple-A contract with the Rangers on Friday. Unless the Rangers add the right-handed pitcher to their 40-man roster, he could choose to walk away and try his luck elsewhere. Given the state that the Rangers rotation has been in this season it seems likely they will activate him. So far this season at Triple-A, Gallardo has a 3.81 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings. However, the Rangers would need to clear a space on their 40-man roster and that complicates the decision. Even if Gallardo is activated Friday, his value is at best a streamer in deep mixed leagues.
