Joey Gallo, Alex Kirilloff In Action Against Royals
1 year agoMinnesota 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.
