Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen is set to make his return to the mound on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. Manager Torey Lovullo hinted at Gallen’s potential return during a press conference on Tuesday, pending a successful bullpen session on Thursday. Gallen has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a hamstring injury sustained in late May.
Prior to his injury, Gallen had a solid performance with a 5-4 record, 3.12 ERA, and 60 strikeouts in 57.2 innings pitched. The pitcher has been working hard to regain full strength and is eager to get back in the game.
In an interview with Arizona Sports, Gallen expressed his hope to return soon while acknowledging the team’s priority to prioritize his well-being. The Diamondbacks are currently facing the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, with Gallen’s anticipated return bringing a sense of optimism to the team.
Fans can tune in to the game at 6:40 p.m. via the Arizona Sports app, 98.7 FM, or ArizonaSports.com. Follow @AZSports for updates on Gallen’s progress and the latest news on the Arizona Diamondbacks.
