ANALYSISWashington will let Gallo get his feet wet in right field right away, as he'll
occupy the position and bat fifth Wednesday against the Dodgers after having previously not made a start in the outfield all season while instead playing first base or serving as a designated hitter. Gallo has won multiple Gold Gloves for his defensive work in the outfield, so he's a sensible solution in right field.
Trey Lipscomb is slated to see ample action at first base during Thomas' upcoming absence, while
Joey Meneses will also be an option there.
