OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo will miss at least a month after the All-Star slugger had surgery Thursday to remove part of a bone in his right wrist.Gallo left Tuesday's game in Seattle because of soreness in his wrist. After undergoing X-rays and an MRI, the 25-year-old Gallo returned to Texas, where Dr. Thomas DiLiberti removed a fractured hook of the hamate bone in Gallo's wrist."Really disappointed but I'm actually not surprised after what I saw the last four games, especially the swing," Rangers manager Chris Woodward said.

The lone hit was a solo home run against Arizona on July 16.Woodward noted that Gallo has been dealing with various health issues for much of the year. Gallo was out for more than three weeks in June with a left oblique strain.Because of the type... [More]
