Yields five runs in loss Gallen allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Impact Gallen once again followed a strong start -- a six-inning scoreless outing versus the Red Sox last Saturday -- with a dud, though the Dodgers are a fair opponent for any pitcher to struggle with. Over eight starts since the All-Star break, Gallen has allowed 19 runs across 44.1 innings, with 17 of those runs coming across four of the starts. The right-hander is now at a 3.87 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 118:43 K:BB through 121 innings over 23 starts this year. He's never walked 50 batters in a season, but it appears inevitable he will this year since he's issued multiple walks in seven of his last eight starts. Gallen is projected to make his next start at San Francisco.

Blanks BoSox for 10th win Gallen (10-6) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and four walks over six scoreless innings in a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out nine.

Impact The right-hander was dominant in his first quality start of August and 10th of the season, recording 30 called or swinging strikes among his 99 pitches and producing his highest strikeout total since he fanned 10 Tigers on May 18. Gallen has alternated solid starts with poor ones since the All-Star break, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB in 39.1 innings over that stretch, but he'll look to break that pattern in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Dodgers.

Stung by Rays Gallen (9-6) took the loss Saturday as the Diamondbacks were downed 6-1 by the Rays, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Impact Despite getting extra rest after his last outing Aug. 10 due to cramping and general body soreness, Gallen didn't look to be at his best Saturday as he generated only seven swinging strikes among his 98 pitches. The 29-year-old right-hander has yet to allow a home run in six starts since the All-Star break, but the rest of his numbers during that stretch (3.78 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 26:16 K:BB in 33.1 innings) aren't up to his usual standards. Gallen will look to regain his form in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Boston.

Cleared to start Saturday Gallen (cramps) has been cleared to start Saturday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Impact Gallen battled general body cramps during his last start this past Saturday against the Phillies and departed after 4.1 innings, taking him out of the mix for a win in the Diamondbacks' eventual 11-1 victory. With six days to recover from that start, Gallen looks to be healthy again and shouldn't face any restrictions when he takes the hill Saturday. The right-hander owns a 3-0 record, 3.18 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 28.1 innings over his five starts since the All-Star break.

Removed due to cramps Gallen was removed from his start in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies due to general body cramps, but he doesn't expect to miss time, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Gallen didn't sustain an injury Saturday and was merely experiencing cramping. Despite getting ample run support, the 28-year-old fell short of reaching the five frames he needed to qualify for the win, as he covered 4.1 innings and struck out three batters while yielding one run on five hits and two walks prior to departing. Gallen is tentatively scheduled to pitch during a three-game road series against the Rays next weekend.

Impact Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Gallen didn't sustain an injury during Saturday's start and was merely cramping. The 28-year-old managed to throw 4.1 innings prior to departing. His lone run allowed came on a Bryce Harper RBI groundout immediately before leaving. It would be very surprising to see Gallen miss his next start, but his status should be monitored over the next few days as a precaution. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch during a three-game road series against the Rays next weekend.

Leaves game with training staff Gallen was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies with a suspected groin injury, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks' training staff came out midway through the fifth inning and after a short discussion, opted to remove Gallen from the contest. Gallen gave up his lone run of the start immediately before exiting, with Bryce Harper driving in Kyle Schwarber on a groundout. Gallen's final stat line reads one run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts across 4.1 innings. Gallen should undergo further testing Saturday night and more information on his health should be provided in the coming days.

Gives up five runs in no-decision Gallen did not factor into the decision in a win over the Guardians on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

Impact Gallen snapped a streak of three straight starts with a win despite his team giving him plenty of run support on Monday. Despite throwing at least seven innings for just the second time this season, he just didn't have his best stuff and was constantly in trouble. The 29-year-old hasn't been as sharp as he would like recently, as he's allowed five or more runs in three of his last six outings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled vs the Phillies.

Notches third straight victory Gallen (9-5) earned the win over Washington on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings.

Impact Gallen gave up a run in the fourth inning but otherwise silenced the Nationals for his second straight quality start and third straight victory. Since giving up a season-high seven runs (six earned) over 3.2 frames against Toronto on July 14, Gallen has surrendered just four runs over his subsequent 17 innings. Despite that solid span, the right-hander's control had been shaky coming into Wednesday, as he had issued nine free passes across his previous two outings. However, he may have settled those concerns against Washington by issuing just one walk in the win.
