The Diamondbacks are facing another setback as right-hander Zac Gallen is expected to be placed on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Manager Torey Lovullo confirmed that Gallen felt discomfort after his recent outing and an MRI revealed inflammation. This injury adds to a growing list of pitcher injuries for the Diamondbacks, who have already lost Ryne Nelson and Michael Soroka in recent weeks. Left-hander Mitch Bratt is expected to start in Gallen's place against the Dodgers on July 12, while the team's rotation currently includes right-handers Brandon Pfaadt and Merrill Kelly and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.
