Makes season debut Gallegos made his first appearance of the season in a loss to the Twins on Tuesday, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning with no hits, walks or strikeouts.

Impact Activated earlier in the day after a delayed arrival in summer camp due to travel issues, Gallegos came on to finish out the sixth inning behind fellow reliever Austin Gomber. Gallegos had been impressing in bullpen sessions and live batting practice in days prior, and the fact he got five of his six pitches into the strike zone Tuesday seems to indicate he carried that momentum over. Gallegos could eventually transition into the closer's role he was once thought of as a leading candidate to fill for at least part of this season, but manager Mike Shildt is on record as stating he'll progressively work the right-hander into the bullpen mix.

Dominates in intrasquad game Gomber threw four scoreless innings and recorded four strikeouts during an intrasquad game Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander is shaping up as a key bullpen component after missing all of 2019 with shoulder and biceps injuries, and Tuesday's performance certainly supported the notion he could make an impact as a middle reliever, among other roles. Gomber threw 55 pitches overall Tuesday, retiring the first 11 batters he faced and ringing up first-pitch strikes on 10 of the 14 teammates to come to the plate against him. Gomber worked on developing a slider during the offseason with help from teammate Jack Flaherty, rounding out an already strong repertoire. "I just felt like that was the one thing that I could do better," Gomber said. "The one glare. I've always had a good true curveball, and I just felt like adding a slider or something would just benefit me because I just didn't have anything that did what that pitch did and didn't have any way to give that look."
