Rangers send down Gallo to make room for Darvish

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers sent down third baseman Joey Gallo on Saturday to make room for pitcher Yu Darvish, who was activated off the disabled list.

Gallo was called up on Monday to give the Rangers an extra bat off the bench, but he had just one at-bat while he was up.

"We had a situation where we had a need, so we brought him up," manager Jeff Banister said. "He was only here a short period of time, so it's obviously time to go down and start playing again."

Gallo was off to a good start at Triple-A Round Rock, despite missing time with a strained left groin.
