Zac Gallen To Throw Sim Game On Tuesday
6 months agoArizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that right-hander Zac Gallen (hamstring) threw a 37-pitch bullpen session on Friday and will throw a 45-pitch simulated game on Tuesday. Gallen's bullpen session on Friday was his second time throwing off a mound since he suffered a right-hamstring strain and was put on the injured list on May 31. Hamstring issues have bothered the 28-year-old this year, but he's been good otherwise, going 5-4 on the year with a 3.12 ERA (3.25 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with a 60:15 K:BB in 57 2/3 frames over his 11 starts. If his sim game goes well next week, Gallen could be cleared to start a short minor-league rehab assignment, and he should be able to come off the IL before the All-Star break in mid-July. Gallen has the potential to be a fantasy ace when he's healthy.
