Nursing hamstring injury Gallo is not in the Twins' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants due to a hamstring injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gallo was removed from Tuesday's game for a pinch-hitter, although that didn't seem abnormal since the Giants had a lefty reliever in. Perhaps the hamstring issue also played a part, though. He's considered day-to-day for the time being.

Could be available off bench Manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters before Friday's game against the Angels that Gallo (leg) could be available off the bench, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Baldelli said that Gallo is feeling "fine," after being pulled from Wednesday's finale against the Dodgers due to fouling a ball off his right leg.

Should play Monday Manager Rocco Baldelli expects Gallo (leg) to be in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old wanted to stay in after he appeared to tweak something while running out a grounder during the seventh inning of Sunday's win over the Cubs, but Baldelli played it safe by removing Gallo with the Twins already holding a six-run lead. He slugged his ninth homer of the season prior to his exit, and it appears the leg issue won't cause him to miss any time.

Impact Gallo appeared to tweak something while running out a grounder during the seventh inning, and he was replaced in the outfield for the following frame. The 29-year-old finished the contest 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Slugs eighth homer Gallo went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Saturday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs.
Impact The slugger launched a three-run homer in the third inning of Hayden Wesneski, one of five Minnesota long balls on the day. Gallo snapped a 14-game homer drought with the performance, and since returning from a right intercostal strain in mid-April he's slashing .191/.329/.500 with a 32.9 percent strikeout rate. While the 29-year-old's power remains elite, Gallo is still an extreme batting average risk.
