Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen has hamstring strain, goes on injured list for 3rd time
Right-hander Zac Gallen was placed on the 10-day injured list for the third time this season, this time with a right hamstring strain, the latest blow for a Diamondbacks pitching staff that can’t seem to catch its breath.
Gallen suffered the injury Friday night during a third-inning at-bat to the San Francisco Giants’ Wilmer Flores, pulling up in obvious discomfort after delivering a pitch. He said he actually felt something on the pitch before but hoped it was nothing serious.
As it turns out, it might not be -- an MRI on Saturday revealed a Grade 1 (i.e., mild) strain -- but it still was serious enough to necessitate a stint on the injured list.
