Joey Gallo (neck) in left field Monday for Yankees
New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against rookie right-hander A.J. Alexy and the Texas Rangers.
Gallo exited Saturday's game with a stiff neck and sat out Sunday. He has homered five times in his last four healthy starts. Gallo is returning to left field and hitting fifth Monday. Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge are in the other two outfield spots, with Giancarlo Stanton in the designated hitter spot. Luke Voit is idle.
numberFire’s models project Gallo for 12.0 FanDuel points and he has a $3,100 salary on Monday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 5.2 runs. Through Alexy's first 14 2/3 innings in the majors, the young righty is registering a 24.1 strikeout percentage and a 15.5 walk percentage this season, with a 4.11 xERA and a .309 xwOBA.
