Giovanny Gallegos: Breaking News

Sent to minor-league camp

Gallegos was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Dodgers on Tuesday. Gallegos made six appearances out of the bullpen during spring training, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six batters over 6.1 innings. The right-hander appears set to begin the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City after signing a minor-league deal with Los Angeles in November.

Latches on with Dodgers

Gallegos signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Gallegos' performance took a nosedive in 2024, as he posted a 6.53 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 20.2 innings before the Cardinals waived him at the end of July. He finished up the regular season in the Twins' farm system and will now look to turn things around with the Dodgers, who've developed a reputation for reviving veteran pitchers' careers.

Links up with Minnesota

The Twins signed Gallegos to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. The veteran right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Cardinals last week, and it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new organization. Gallegos struggled to a 6.53 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings before being let go by St. Louis, but he filled a high-leverage role and recorded 38 saves and 56 holds across the previous three seasons.
