The D-backs skipper spoke on Arizona Sports 98.7 about a variety of topics today.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo spoke to Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7 this afternoon, providing some context on ace Zac Gallen's health situation, as well as addressing some of the D-backs' offensive woes as of late.Zac Gallen was removed from last night's game after just six pitches. The team announced soon after that the ace was removed with a right hamstring strain, the same injury that struck him in Seattle just over a month ago.
“These are guys that have been brought in and drafted and created some depth for these very reasons. So it’ll be a next man up mentality, but we have about 3-4 plans that will be executed depending on the information we get on Zac,” Lovullo said. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Pavin Smith proceeded to pop out on two straight pitches, leaving Jake McCarthy to ground out to end the game. The D-backs needed better quality at-bats, especially against a pitcher who was struggling to find the zone.
One such hitter that's been a culprit of weak at-bats has been Eugenio Suarez. The slugger is slashing .210/.275/.308 with only three home runs. While a lower average could be expected, the slug and power the D-backs had hoped for hasn't been there.
