Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen tossed six innings of one-run ball in Wednesday's 8-2 victory over the Giants, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out a season-high 11 batters on the way to earning his 14th win of the season. The 29-year-old has had another solid, albeit somewhat inconsistent, season for the D-backs, as he allowed one run or less in 13 of 28 starts but four runs or more on seven occasions. Nevertheless, the righty finishes the regular season on a high note and leaves his team one game up on the Braves for the final Wild Card spot with three games to go against the Padres. The former All-Star closes the 2024 regular season at 14-6 with a 3.65 ERA (3.86 SIERA), 1.26 WHIP, and a 16.4% K-BB%.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen (cramps) has been cleared to start on Saturday. The right-hander exited his previous start early due to general cramping, but this does not seem to be a major concern.

Under the hood, Gallen boasts an above-average 6.2% barrel rate and 46.9% ground-ball rate. This afternoon, he will face the Tampa Bay Rays in a favorable matchup as they strike out at a 24.2% K rate against right-handed pitchers. Gallen should be in all fantasy lineups going forward and a popular play in DFS today.
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen (cramps) was removed early from Saturday's start due to general body cramps. Jesse Friedman reports that Gallen is not expected to miss any time. The right-hander logged four 1/3 innings before exiting but fantasy managers should not need to worry as Gallen should be in line to make his next start against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 29-year-old has struggled at times this season by serving up at least four earned runs three times in his past seven starts. Overall, through 105 frames of work, Gallen sits with a 3.69 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 35:99 BB:K ratio. Gallen should remain in all fantasy lineups and will be a popular play in DFS in his next start against the Rays.
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.

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 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.
