Episode Details

Zac Gallen’s season just took a major hit as he’s sidelined with right elbow inflammation, scratched from his Dodgers matchup and headed back to Arizona for imaging—likely landing him on the 15-day injured list. Despite a higher ERA and declining strikeout numbers, Gallen’s been a workhorse with nearly 100 innings pitched, but hitters are making solid contact and his fastball’s lost velocity while home runs have surged. With the Diamondbacks’ already thin rotation crumbling further, they’ve called up rookie Mitch Bratt—a pitcher with just one MLB appearance—to fill the void. The team’s starters still rank second in the NL in innings pitched, showcasing grit, but the mounting injuries are putting immense pressure on the remaining arms to keep the ship afloat.
