Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen suffered a right hamstring strain just five pitches into Thursday night's game against the New York Mets, likely leading to a stint on the injured list. The 28-year-old, who has been a standout performer in recent seasons, felt the injury while facing Francisco Lindor, who hit a leadoff single off his knuckle-curve.
After releasing a fastball to DJ Stewart, Gallen experienced discomfort and had to leave the game. Manager Torey Lovullo and a trainer attended to him on the mound, and Gallen limped off the field. Gallen attempted to assess the severity of the injury by throwing another pitch but quickly realized he couldn't continue without risking further damage.
