Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Takes fourth loss Friday
Rotowire
Gallen (1-4) took the loss Friday against Atlanta after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.
Gallen kept the hard contact in check to a degree -- it was just his second start this year in which didn't give up a home run -- but he yielded two RBI doubles during Atlanta's three-run second inning. The right-hander was able to tie a season high with 103 pitches, but it was his fourth consecutive outing with multiple walks allowed. Gallen has a disappointing 5.57 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 32.1 frames in 2025, and things won't get much easier in his next scheduled appearance on the road versus the Mets.

Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Hit hard by Cubbies
Rotowire
Gallen (1-3) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings as the Diamondbacks fell 6-2 to the Cubs. He struck out five.
Four of the hits off Gallen went for extra bases, including back-to-back homers by Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch in the second inning. The right-hander has been tagged for at least four runs in three of his first five starts this season, leaving him with a 5.60 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 29:13 K:BB through 27.1 innings. Gallen will look to rebound in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against Atlanta.

Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Gallen took a no-decision Sunday against the Brewers. He struck out five over six innings while allowing two runs on five hits and three walks.
The Arizona right-hander looked sharper in this 89-pitch outing, firing 56 strikes to bag his second quality start of the season. The only blemish on Gallen's outing was a second inning two-run homer by William Contreras, which snuck out of the park, measuring 375 feet. With this effort, Gallen lowered his season ERA from 5.28 to 4.64 and will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently slated to be at the Cubs this weekend.

Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Struggles with control vs. Orioles
Rotowire
Gallen (1-2) allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings in a loss to Baltimore on Monday.
Gallen's outing was a stark contrast to his 13-punchout, zero-walk win over the Yankees last Wednesday. Against the Orioles, the right-hander struggled mightily with his control, throwing only 50 of 96 pitches for strikes and issuing four free passes. Two of the four batters Gallen walked came around to score, and he failed to complete five frames for the second time in three starts. Despite Gallen's dominant victory last week against New York, his ERA stands at 5.28 on the season, which reflects how poor his other two outings have been. He'll try to rebound the next time he takes the mound, which is lined up to be Sunday versus Milwaukee.

Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Dominates Yankees with 13 punchouts
Rotowire
Gallen (1-1) earned the win over the Yankees on Wednesday, racking up 13 strikeouts without issuing a walk while allowing three hits over 6.2 scoreless innings.
Gallen struggled in his first start of the season, yielding four runs over four innings against the Cubs. He bounced back in elite fashion Wednesday, registering 24 whiffs -- surpassing his previous career-high mark of 20 -- en route to 13 strikeouts, tying his career-best total. Gallen worked up to 101 pitches in the outing after throwing 83 on Opening Day. The right-hander will try to build upon Wednesday's fantastic performance in his next start, which lines up to come at home against Baltimore next week.
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Allows four runs in opener
Rotowire
Gallen (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Cubs after giving up four runs on four hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out four.
Gallen finished spring training with a 2.89 ERA and 10:5 K:BB in 9.1 Cactus League innings, and his command was shaky again Thursday as he threw just 43 of 83 pitches for strikes. The right-hander will need to get on track quickly, as he's set for a matchup with the Yankees in his second start of the season next week.

Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Named Opening Day starter
Rotowire
Gallen will start Opening Day, March 27 against the Cubs, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Many anticipated Corbin Burnes to make his Diamondbacks debut in the first game of the season, but the team will instead give the Opening Day start to Gallen for the third consecutive year. The 29-year-old has made three appearances in the Cactus League this spring, giving up two earned runs while striking out eight batters and walking three over five innings. While Gallen may never return to his 2022 form (2.54 ERA, 0.91 WHIP), he hasn't lost his strikeout stuff and should be able to comfortably reach double-digit wins with Arizona's high-scoring offense behind him.

Gallen allowed two hits while striking out three over two scoreless innings in Saturday's spring start against the Rockies.
Gallen told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that he felt better about his second Cactus League outing than in his previous start or sessions on the backfield. "Delivery felt solid, felt I had some good leverage, was able to locate pretty good," the right-hander said. He talked about not flying out too early and holding his tension until the end when releasing pitches. "That's when I feel like everything is synced up," Gallen added.
