Gallen pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits (including a home run) and two walks with four strikeouts. The 28-year-old's regular season success has carried over into the playoffs, as he has led the way for the Diamondbacks' rotation, allowing four runs in 11 1/3 IP with eight strikeouts and five walks.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen will be on the bump for Game 2 of the Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. Gallen will go toe-to-toe with rookie Bobby Miller with the D-backs looking to take a stranglehold in the series. The righty was good enough in the Wild Card round, tossing six innings of two-run ball against the Brewers to send them packing. With the Dodgers getting walloped in Game 1 and seeking revenge, Gallen will need to be at his best to thwart their offense.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen is slated to start Game 2 of the wild-card series on Wednesday on the road against the Brewers. His opposing starter has not yet been named. The 28-year-old had a solid season overall, going 17-9 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 26.0% strikeout rate in 34 starts over 210 innings pitched. However, his second half was not as strong with a 4.03 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 25.4% ERA in 15 starts. Both of Gallen's starts against the Brewers in the regular season came in the first half, in which he allowed a single run over 14 IP with 15 strikeouts and two walks.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen is toeing the rubber for Friday's start against Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs. The 28-year-old has not fared well recently, giving up 11 earned runs over his last 10 2/3 innings of work. Gallen still has excellent numbers, as he's posted a 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 25.9% strikeout rate with 14 victories across 29 starts. Fantasy managers should still view the fifth-year hurler as a must-start arm who can provide solid contributions in all categories.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen will look to dominate the Padres for the second consecutive start Thursday night in San Diego. The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and a walk against eight strikeouts in a winning effort against the Padres his last time out. In fact, he has now tossed 13 innings of shutout ball with just six hits and one walk allowed against 19 strikeouts in his last two outings against the rival Padres. For the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.24 ERA and a career-best 21.5% K-BB% across 25 starts, going 12-5 in the process. He will take on a Padres offense that has underperformed this season, sitting 19th with a .314 wOBA off of right-handed pitching.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen took a no-decision on Thursday when he allowed three runs on five hits with five strikeouts over seven innings in a 7-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Gallen actually had a perfect game going through five innings but eventually, the star-studded Atlanta offense had a breakthrough. Orlando Arcia got it going in the bottom of the sixth inning with a solo home run then slugger Matt Olson tacked on a two-run shot of his own in the bottom of the seventh. It's never easy facing the Braves and even after giving up the two home runs, Gallen was still in line for the win before the D-Backs bullpen blew it in the eighth inning. That said, Gallen still has picked up a quality start in 2-of-3 turns. He'll carry a 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 135:26 K/BB ratio over 130 1/3 innings (20 starts) on the year. He'll face the St. Louis Cardinals at home on Tuesday in his next start.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen will get the starting nod for the National League in Tuesday's All-Star game in Seattle, and he'll be opposed by New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole for the American League. Gallen is unlikely to go for more than a few innings in the Midsummer Classic after picking up his 11th win over the season in a seven-inning, one-run outing last Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This will be the 27-year-old's first start in an All-Star game, and he's gone 11-3 with a solid 3.04 ERA (league-leading 2.77 FIP), league-leading 1.05 WHIP, 23 walks and 125 strikeouts in 118 1/3 innings over his 19 starts. Gallen's start last Friday was a nice bounce-back outing after giving up eight total earned runs in his previous two starts combined.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen fired seven innings of one-run ball in Friday's 7-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 27-year-old struck out five hitters and allowed four hits en route to his 11th win of the season. The only significant damage to Gallen's ledger was a Jared Triolo double which was ultimately driven in by a Tucupita Marcano single during the fifth frame. The right-hander was outstanding at Chase Field once again, now boasting a 1.48 ERA over 67 innings covering 10 home starts this year. Gallen has also withstood seven frames in four of his last five appearances. The 2023 All-Star caps off his first half with a marvelous 3.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 125:23 K:BB across an MLB-high 118 1/3 innings this campaign. Gallen should take the hill at some time next weekend for a tough draw against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen earned the win on Tuesday after allowing four runs on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks over six innings in an 8-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The D-Backs' offense staked Gallen a five-run lead in the bottom of the first inning so he had some breathing room in this one. He then allowed the first three batters to reach in the top of the second inning before recording an out. Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes then both scored on wild pitches before a Christian Bethancourt RBI groundout and a Jose Siri solo shot made it a 5-4 ball game. Gallen would settle down after that rough inning and wouldn't allow another run to score. He was able to secure his 10th win of the season thanks to the run support the offense provided. The 27-year-old owns a rock-solid 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 108:22 K/BB ratio over 104 1/3 innings (17 starts) on the year. He'll take on the Angels on the road in his next start.

Arizona Diamondback starting pitcher Zac Gallen launched seven one-run innings versus the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The 27-year-old allowed six hits and no walks while striking out seven batters on the way to his eighth win of the year in the team's 5-1 triumph. Gallen has been utterly dominant at Chase Field, holding opponents to one run or less in six of his eight starts for a golden 1.00 ERA there this season. The right-hander bears a contrasting 5.79 ERA on the road, however, making him something of a volatile fantasy option depending on venue. Gallen nonetheless carries a 2.96 ERA and exceptional 100:19 K:BB overall into a visit on Wednesday with the Milwaukee Brewers, who he has a 1.50 ERA over 24 frames against since 2021.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen may have had his worst start of the year in Friday's debacle against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He matched his season-worst with five earned runs allowed, permitted a season-high four walks, and fanned a season-low two batters in the loss. It ends an eight-game undefeated streak for the 27-year-old hurler, who was electric in his last seven starts in assembling a pristine 1.16 ERA with 60 punchouts. DFS players who paid the premium price for Gallen are likely none too pleased with Friday's fiasco. Things won't get much easier for the workhorse righty in season-long leagues when Gallen battles the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old right-hander came into last season with an ERA above 4.00 in just one of his three seasons, with the other resulting in sub-3.00 ERAs. While he did strike out a career-low 9.4 hitters in 2022, all of his other peripherals look strong as he heads into his fifth MLB season.

Gallen has an ERA under 1.00 in his last nine starts and he'll be a must-start in fantasy the rest of the way.

In the same span, he's struck out 39 and walked just seven hitters. Gallen has a career-high 145 strikeouts and just 39 walks in 145 2/3 frames this year over his 25 starts for Arizona.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have determined that starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly aren't going anywhere at this year's trade deadline. There has been a little interest in veteran left-hander Madison Bumgarner, but nothing serious yet. Gallen has a no-decision in seven of his last outings, but he's been solid for the D-backs all year, posting a 3.24 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 101:29 K:BB over 105 2/3 innings. Kelly has been even better, going 10-5 with a 2.87 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 104:38 K:BB in 125 1/3 innings in his fourth MLB season. In the month of July, he went 4-0 with a 1.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 33 K's and eight walks in 41 1/3 innings over his six starts. It makes sense why Arizona would want to hang onto both of these starters.
