2 days agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks plan is to get ace right-hander Zac Gallen pitching on every fifth day until the All-Star break in mid-July, moving his next start up a game to Thursday on the Fourth of July to face the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Gallen returned from the 15-day injured list due to a hamstring injury on Saturday and tossed six scoreless innings in a win over the Oakland Athletics. "(Gallen) was really pounding the table to get as many starts as he possibly could prior to the break," manager Torey Lovullo said. "So we're going to full throttle him. We're going to go every fifth day with Zac, so you can plan that out." This plan will give Gallen three starts before the All-Star break instead of just two, which is good news for fantasy managers, but he'll also be facing the Dodgers instead of the San Diego Padres this week in his second start off the IL.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
