Zac Gallen Gets Rematch With Colorado on Monday

Robbie Ray is a Shaky Option Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray has a tough matchup on tap Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Ray is one of the best strikeout pitchers in all of baseball, but it's never easy navigating through the Rockies in their home park.

New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler will take the bump on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen will be tested on Tuesday when he goes on the road to Coors Field to take on the Colorado Rockies.

Robbie Ray Looks to Stay Hot Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray will face a difficult matchup on Friday against the Washington Nationals.

Carson Kelly Goes Yard Tuesday
