Rangers’ Joey Gallo to undergo surgery for broken hamate bone

July 25, 2019

The Texas Rangers’ offense may be taking a hit over the next few weeks.

Outfielder Joey Gallo is set to undergo surgery for a broken hamate bone, according to The Athletic’s Levi Weaver. Weaver believes the timetable is 3-6 weeks for a recovery.

Recovery time on this varies. Usually 3-6 weeks, but occasionally takes awhile to get the swing exactly right afterward. For an best-case scenario, I present exhibit A: Matt Olson, who had the surgery in March, and still has 21 HR this year.

Gallo was removed from Tuesday’s game and did not play on Wednesday due to the injury. The 25-year-old is batting .253 with 15 doubles and 22 home runs. He’s always had tremendous power, but this is the first year he’s had a respectable batting average, as well as more walks than usual. As a result, his OPS is .987 for the season, and he made the All-Star team. Texas may call up Willie Calhoun in Gallo’s absence.
