Gallen left his start early with trainers and has now been diagnosed with right hamstring tightness. The Diamondbacks should soon provide a further update on his status.

Zac Gallen was removed from Friday’s game and walked off the mound with the trainer.

It was not clear what was bothering Gallen, but it was clear there is an apparent injury. Fantasy managers should expect the Diamondbacks to release more information soon.

Zac Gallen struggled in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Giants, allowing five earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a noticeable dip in performance for Gallen, whose ERA ballooned to 3.00 from an impressive earlier mark. Despite this setback, his season metrics, including a 10.7 K/9 and a 4.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, still suggest high strikeout potential which can be valuable in fantasy leagues. However, his elevated 0.352 BABIP might indicate that some regression was due, and fantasy managers should monitor his next starts closely to gauge if adjustments are made or if this game was just a bump in the road.

Zac Gallen allowed four hits over six scoreless innings in a win against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Gallen added seven strikeouts to two walks on the afternoon. He is now 3-0 this season with a matchup against the Giants up next.

In a performance that was both dazzling and frustrating, Zac Gallen racked up an impressive 10 strikeouts over 5 innings against the Colorado Rockies on Monday, but it wasn't enough to secure a win for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who fell 7-5.

Fantasy Impact

Despite allowing 8 hits and 3 earned runs, Gallen's ability to avoid walks and rack up strikeouts highlighted his potential for fantasy dominance. His season ERA slightly rose to 2.25, but with a WHIP of 1.19 and maintaining a strong 10.7 K/9, Gallen continues to be a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as a top-tier pitching option, especially in leagues that value strikeouts, despite the occasional rocky outing.
