Zac Gallen's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen produced a solid outing in Wednesday afternoon's victory over the visiting Washington Nationals at Chase Field, striking out six batters over six innings in his start. Gallen gave up one run on six hits and one walk in Wednesday's showing against Washington, picking up his third consecutive win. The 28-year-old workhorse right-hander will still be looking to turn the page on what was a rough month of July despite the three straight victories for him, after posting a 5.10 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 25 punchouts and 15 walks across his last six starts (30 frames) for the D-backs. Tuesday's showdown against the first-place Cleveland Guardians marks Gallen's next scheduled appearance for Arizona.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen got demolished on Sunday, allowing seven runs (six earned) in 3 IP in an 8-7 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. He got off the hook after the Diamondbacks rallied from 7-0 down to tie up the game, but ultimately it was too much to overcome. Gallen gave up nine hits and walked one while punching out just one batter. The 28-year-old has been pretty bad after a brilliant start on June 29 in his first game back off the IL, allowing 15 runs (13 earned) in 13 IP since. The all-star break is coming at a good time for Gallen, who could clearly use the rest. He should be held onto in fantasy leagues and makes for a decent buy-low if anyone is scared by his last few outings.

The Arizona Diamondbacks plan is to get ace right-hander Zac Gallen pitching on every fifth day until the All-Star break in mid-July, moving his next start up a game to Thursday on the Fourth of July to face the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Gallen returned from the 15-day injured list due to a hamstring injury on Saturday and tossed six scoreless innings in a win over the Oakland Athletics. "(Gallen) was really pounding the table to get as many starts as he possibly could prior to the break," manager Torey Lovullo said. "So we're going to full throttle him. We're going to go every fifth day with Zac, so you can plan that out." This plan will give Gallen three starts before the All-Star break instead of just two, which is good news for fantasy managers, but he'll also be facing the Dodgers instead of the San Diego Padres this week in his second start off the IL.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen tossed six shutout innings in his first start in over a month. Gallen has been on the 15-day injured list since May 31 with a right hamstring strain. He allowed just one hit to outfielder Brent Rooker in the opening frame and a free pass to first baseman Tyler Soderstrom in the second inning. He struck out seven batters. This is a great sign, as the 28-year-old posted one of his best outings of the season after missing a month of play. The North Carolina product carries a 2.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 16:67 BB:K ratio into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for July 5 against the San Diego Padres.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have reinstated their ace Zac Gallen (hamstring) from the injured list on Saturday afternoon. Gallen will get the Oakland Athletics this afternoon in Arizona. Gallen missed nearly a month with the injury. He is 5-4 with a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 60 strikeouts in 57 innings this year. Gallen might have a lower pitch count today, as he threw a 67-pitch simulation game on Monday before throwing an extended bullpen session on Thursday. The Diamondbacks sent lefty Brandon Hughes to Triple-A in a related move.
