The already injury-ridden D-backs might have just lost another key piece.
Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen exited today's game in the first inning at Citi Field. Right-hander Bryce Jarvis entered from the bullpen with a runner on first and an 0-1 count. Arizona's ace only threw six pitches before walking off the field with a trainer with an apparent limp.
Gallen allowed a leadoff single to Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, then, on the first pitch to DJ Stewart, came up gimpy off the release. It appeared to be that his leg was offering some discomfort once again.Zac Gallen left tonight's start in the first with an injury. It occured on this pitch in the first inning.Gallen had experienced a hamstring injury against the Seattle Mariners on April 26th.
Gallen had made four starts between then and today's game, without much sign that suggested his issue had been more serious than originally thought. Gallen has pitched well in 2024, and the D-backs, who are just 1-4 in their last five games, were in desperate need of a Quality Start from their ace to get back on track.
Jarvis was able to get out of the first inning without allowing a run. While it does appear likely that Gallen's hamstring issue has arisen again, there has been no official word from the D-backs yet.
