Twins place Gallo on injured list with intercostal strain

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Joey Gallo was positioned on the 10-day injured listing by the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday after his sore proper facet didn’t present sufficient enchancment in pregame exercises.

The slugging first baseman is coping with a proper intercostal pressure that had already sidelined him for 3 video games. The transfer to the IL is retroactive to April 8. The staff introduced a corresponding roster transfer might be made earlier than Wednesday’s collection finale in opposition to the Chicago White Sox.

Gallo, who signed a one-year, $11 million contract with Minnesota within the offseason, is batting .278 with three residence runs and 7 RBIs in seven video games.
