ZAC GALLEN NEWS

Removed due to cramps Gallen was removed from Saturday's start against the Phillies due to general body cramps, and he doesn't expect to miss time, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Gallen didn't sustain an injury during Saturday's start and was merely cramping. The 28-year-old managed to throw 4.1 innings prior to departing. His lone run allowed came on a Bryce Harper RBI groundout immediately before leaving. It would be very surprising to see Gallen miss his next start, but his status should be monitored over the next few days as a precaution. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch during a three-game road series against the Rays next weekend.

Removed due to cramps Gallen was removed from his start in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies due to general body cramps, but he doesn't expect to miss time, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Gallen didn't sustain an injury Saturday and was merely experiencing cramping. Despite getting ample run support, the 28-year-old fell short of reaching the five frames he needed to qualify for the win, as he covered 4.1 innings and struck out three batters while yielding one run on five hits and two walks prior to departing. Gallen is tentatively scheduled to pitch during a three-game road series against the Rays next weekend.

Leaves game with training staff Gallen was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies with a suspected groin injury, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks' training staff came out midway through the fifth inning, and, after a short discussion, opted to remove Gallen from the contest. Gallen gave up his lone run of the start immediately before exiting, with Bryce Harper driving in Kyle Schwarber on a groundout. Gallen's final stat line included one run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts across 4.1 innings. Gallen should undergo further testing Saturday night, and more information on his status should be provided in the coming days.

Gives up five runs in no-decision Gallen did not factor into the decision in a win over the Guardians on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

Impact Gallen snapped a streak of three straight starts with a win despite his team giving him plenty of run support on Monday. Despite throwing at least seven innings for just the second time this season, he just didn't have his best stuff and was constantly in trouble. The 29-year-old hasn't been as sharp as he would like recently, as he's allowed five or more runs in three of his last six outings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled vs the Phillies.

Notches third straight victory Gallen (9-5) earned the win over Washington on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

Impact Gallen gave up a run in the fourth inning but otherwise silenced the Nationals for his second straight quality start and third straight victory. Since giving up a season-high seven runs (six earned) over 3.2 frames against Toronto on July 14, Gallen has surrendered just four runs over his subsequent 17 innings. Despite that solid span, the right-hander's control had been shaky coming into Wednesday, as he had issued nine free passes across his previous two outings. However, he may have settled those concerns against Washington by issuing just one walk in the win.

Turns in quality start Gallen (8-5) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Pirates.

Impact Gallen's shaky control continues to be a red flag -- he has a 19:14 K:BB over 24 innings across five starts this month. On the bright side, he earned his second quality start in six outings since he returned from a hamstring injury. The right-hander is now at a 3.70 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 87.2 innings over 17 starts this year. Gallen's next start is projected to be at home versus the Nationals.

Wild in win Gallen (7-5) allowed three hits and six walks while striking out four over five shutout innings, earning the win Saturday over the Cubs.

Impact Gallen was unusually lacking in command -- this was the second time in five starts he's walked multiple batters, and it's the first time all year he's walked more batters than he's struck out. The Cubs were unable to punish his wildness, and the Diamondbacks' bullpen went on to yield just one hit over four scoreless innings to preserve a 3-0 lead. Gallen is now at a 3.64 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 80:27 K:BB through 81.2 innings across 16 starts this year. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Pirates.

Suffers first loss since return Gallen (6-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

Impact Gallen needed 53 pitches just to get through the first two innings, which is the most for him in a start this year. Atlanta pushed two runs across on him in the second, though one came off an error. Gallen then tossed three scoreless frames before coming back out for the sixth, and faltered there, allowing two men on before Adam Duvall crushed a curveball 441 feet to left to put Atlanta up 5-0 and end Gallen's night at 105 pitches. The home run was just the third Gallen's given up in his last seven starts (excluding his May 30 start when he exited the game after one batter). The 28-year-old owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 75:20 K:BB in 73 innings and lines up for one final start before the All-Star break against Toronto this weekend.
