Gallegos will receive an invitation to the Dodgers\u2019 big league spring training camp. The right-hander would earn a $2.5 million base salary for making the big league roster. Gallegos can also earn another $1.5 million in incentives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gallegos has spent the offseason working to correct lower half mechanics and has also regained a few ticks on his fastball.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the right-hander posted a 6.53 ERA with a 2-1 record. Gallegos punched 21 strikeouts in 20.2 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

\nThe veteran pitcher has spent time with just the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals throughout his eight seasons in MLB. Gallegos has donned a Cardinals uniform since 2018.<\/p>\n

Gallegos is best known for his remarkable performance out of the St. Louis bullpen from 2019-22, when he posted a 2.84 ERA, 32 percent strikeout rate, and 6.6 percent walk rate over 228.1 innings.<\/p>\n

In October 2022, Gallegos signed a two-year, $11 million extension with the Cardinals following his strong performance.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the right-hander\u2019s performance regressed as Gallegos posted a 4.42 ERA that season. Additionally, his strikeout rate dropped and his home runs totals increased.<\/p>\n

Gallegos spent just over six weeks on the injured list in 2024 because of a shoulder impingement. Due to his injury and performance struggles, Gallegos made his departure from St. Louis as the Cardinals designated hime for assignment. The right-hander then elected free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
