Fantasy Impact
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo mentioned that these pitches were "game-intensity" pitches, which is certainly a positive sign for his progress. Diamondbacks reporter Zach Buchanan believes that these pitches did not include curveballs, the type of pitch that would cause the most pain with his injury. It sounds like Gallen is progressing in the right direction, but he remains without a clear timetable.
