Diamondbacks Place Zac Gallen On Injured List

By Anthony Franco | July 3, 2021 at 5:49pm CDT

The Diamondbacks announced they’ve placed right-hander Zac Gallen on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Catcher Bryan Holaday has been selected to replace him on the active roster. The D-Backs had a vacancy on the 40-man roster after this week’s trade of outfielder Tim Locastro to the Yankees.

It’ll be the second IL stint of the year for Gallen, who earlier missed a month with a minor sprain of the UCL in his throwing elbow. It doesn’t seem there’s a ton of cause for concern this time around. The righty told reporters (including Zach Buchanan of the Athletic) he’d been diagnosed with a “very mild” strain that was of the Grade 1 (least severe) variety. Indeed, Gallen said he’s not even in pain currently.

Nevertheless, there’s little reason for the 23-61 Diamondbacks to take any chances with a core player. Gallen qualifies, having pitched to a 3.16 ERA/3.78 FIP across 156 2/3 innings since the D-Backs acquired him from the Marlins at the 2019 trade deadline. Gallen hasn’t been that effective this year, but there’s little doubt the organization remains bullish on his long-term upside.

Holaday is now set to appear in the majors for a tenth consecutive season. The right-handed hitter’s most extensive run came early in his career with the Tigers, and he’s also seen action with the Rangers, Red Sox, Marlins and Orioles over the past couple seasons. All told, the 33-year-old owns a .238/.283/.333 line across 768 MLB plate appearances. Signed to a minor league deal over the winter, he’s hit .263/.315/.579 in 108 trips to the dish with Triple-A Reno. That’s solid but unspectacular output in the hitter’s paradise that is Triple-A West.

    This dude is a really good pitcher but constantly injury prone.

      Gifted to Arizona by the Marlins like Stanton to the Yankees.

        Jazz Chisholm still has an incredibly high ceiling. You only say that because Gallen was more MLB ready at the time of the trade so he has delivered more results. This trade could and probably will end up a win win for both teams.

        I’d imagine there are a few Yankees’ fans that’d like to regift Stanton.

    Don’t take any D-Back to the race track with. Your horse will have a 5 length lead and promptly collapse. Just some bad Karma this year.

    I asked this question here at the beginning of the season, and the response was overwhelmingly in favor of Gallen. So, halfway into the year I shall ask again: Who do you think the ultimate winner of the Gallen/Chisholm swap will be?
