Roster %
Eligibility

Fantasy Impact
Gallen missed 15 days with a similar injury in 2021, which gives the team hope that he will be able to return on a similar timeline. Slade Cecconi will join the rotation in Gallen’s spot for the time being.
The Diamondbacks placed Zac Gallen on the 15-day IL.
Fantasy Impact
Gallen left his start early on Thursday with a right hamstring strain. It is the second hamstring injury he has dealt with this season. He'll likely be sidelined at least the next few weeks.
Zac Gallen left his start early on Thursday due to a right hamstring strain.
Fantasy Impact
It is better than an arm injury but still not ideal, especially after Gallen suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the season in a start against the Mariners. There should be another update provided on his status and a potential timeline.
Zac Gallen left his start early on Thursday against the Mets with trainers.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear what the injury was, but Gallen was able to walk off the field. There should be an update on him soon.
Zac Gallen allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Gallen's season-long metrics remain solid, boasting a 3.12 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP through 10 starts. His 9.4 K/9 indicates he's still missing bats effectively, and a 3.36 FIP suggests some bad luck may have played a part in his recent outing. However, fantasy managers should note the slight uptick in hits allowed in this game, which could be a concern if the trend continues. Overall, Gallen remains a strong fantasy option, but this performance is a reminder of the volatility inherent in starting pitching.
