Joey Gallo

The Nationals have declined their portion of an option on Joey Gallo's contract for 2025.

Fantasy Impact

Gallo struggled in his time with the Nationals, posting a .161 average over 76 games. The veteran will look for a new opportunity with a team in need of a left-handed hitting first baseman or designated hitter.

Joey Gallo went 1-for-3 in the Nationals' 6-3 victory over the Phillies, delivering a crucial home run along with three RBI and a walk.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while impactful, is a rare highlight in what has been a challenging season for Gallo, characterized by a low .164 batting average and a high strikeout rate. His power remains evident with 10 homers in 75 games, but his overall production has been limited by his inability to consistently get on base, as reflected in his .278 wOBA. Fantasy managers should continue to view Gallo as a high-risk, high-reward option.

Fantasy Impact

His performance today was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season, marked by a low .164 batting average and a high strikeout rate. Despite these struggles, Gallo's power potential remains evident, as evidenced by his nine home runs in just 70 games. His ability to draw walks also adds some value in formats that reward for on-base percentage. Fantasy managers should continue to view Gallo as a high-risk, high-reward option, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a DFS play against favorable pitching matchups.
