Zac Gallen Could Start On Saturday Against A's
6 months agoArizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen (hamstring) could come off the injured list to start Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics if all goes well with his bullpen session on Thursday. Gallen has already thrown a few simulated games, and Thursday's bullpen will be his second. So if the 28-year-old gets through Thursday without any issues, he'll be an option to return to Arizona's starting rotation this weekend in an excellent matchup that fantasy managers won't be able to pass on despite the fact that Gallen hasn't thrown in a game since May 30, when he was removed after just pitches due to his hamstring injury. Without going on a minor-league rehab assignment to build his pitch count up, though, Gallen's fantasy upside in his first start back in the big leagues will be limited.
